Today was a day to celebrate students. Today was a day to celebrate staff. Today was a day to celebrate growth, commitments made, commitments kept through perseverance, dedication and determination. Today was a day to celebrate J. Glenn Edwards Elementary School.
Students, staff and community partners gathered to honor J. Glenn Edwards Elementary School for winning the 2023-2024 Lee County Education Foundation "Head of Class" Award as the elementary school that achieved the most growth in the previous school year. The ceremony was a wonderful time for students and staff to reflect on the sacrifices they all made as they committed to push one another each day toward higher academic achievement.
The Lee County Education Foundation also presented a $75,000 check to J. Glenn Edwards in recognition of their outstanding achievement, and each attendee was challenged to commit to do the best thing for students each day. The glowing faces of students, families and staff are a sure sign that this day of celebration is not a day they will soon forget!
Congratulations to all the students, staff, and families of J. Glenn Edwards for a job well done! #LCSthrive
