Education Foundation honors Flagler Schools staff and announces Joe Rizzo Memorial Golf Classic

During the recent Flagler School Board meeting, the spotlight shone brightly on the dedicated members of the Flagler County Education Foundation, a small team making a significant impact on local students and educators. The foundation's representatives expressed heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support they receive from Flagler Schools staff, highlighting the collaborative efforts that help enhance educational experiences for families in the community.

The foundation's team, though just five members strong, emphasized that their work is bolstered by the contributions of many colleagues who lend their time and talents. They acknowledged individuals who assist with various tasks, from organizing events to delivering essential materials, underscoring the spirit of teamwork that defines the Flagler Schools community.

A key highlight of the meeting was the announcement of the upcoming third annual Joe Rizzo Memorial Golf Classic. This event honors the legacy of Joe Rizzo, who was instrumental in developing career and technical education programs in Flagler Schools. The golf classic aims to support the foundation's "Classroom to Careers" initiative, which aligns with the superintendent's diploma plus initiative, providing students with valuable skills and opportunities for their futures.

The Education Foundation is actively seeking sponsors and golfers to participate in this tribute, which promises to be both a celebration of Rizzo's contributions and a vital investment in the educational pathways of local students. The meeting concluded with a reaffirmation of the community's commitment to supporting educational initiatives that benefit all students in Flagler County.
