FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Holiday greetings to our Flagler Schools Families,
We are right in the middle of the holiday “season” and the attitude of
gratitude I humbly try to spread to all our campuses is shown so many ways.
So many students, teachers, administrators, and staff contributed in a
variety of ways a few months ago following the devastation along the
Florida panhandle. We were able to send buses, school supplies, cleaning
supplies, and funds to our friends in Bay County. They are still dealing with
the effects of Hurricane Michael, something that will not be taken care of in
days, weeks, or months. But it has been encouraging to see so many other
school districts and communities across our state come to the aid of those
counties hit hardest by the storm.
Flagler Schools is also about to celebrate our District Teacher and
Support Employee of the Year. We will hold our annual ceremony at Flagler
Auditorium on January 17, 2019. The public is encouraged to attend and
watch how we celebrate all our shining stars. Look for additional
information in the weeks to come. In the meantime, I’d like to share with
you the list of all our Teachers and Employees of the Year. I wish all of them
the best of luck as committees have the difficult task of naming our District
winners. They will, of course, go on to represent Flagler Schools in
statewide competition.

I’d also like to congratulate Paul Peacock from Indian Trails Middle School. He is our Principal of the Year and Cara Cronk from
Buddy Taylor Middle School. She was named our Assistant Principal of the Year.
If you are traveling this month, I hope those travels are smooth and as stress-free as possible. We look forward to a wonderful
start to our second semester on January 7, 2019.
Enthusiastically Yours,
