We're hosting a "Gentlemen's Welcome" back to school day on the first day of school, Monday, August 11, 2025 at James Stephens Elementary! WE would love to have your support in waving and cheering students on as they enter the building at 7:00 am with the Mayor, FMPD, FMFD, LCEC, FGCU and 100 various community leaders and members. Please tell me that you all would love to continue to support and cover a positive story of community love! I've hosted this event in Lee County for over 8 year and I can promise you that our kids will never forget this moment!   We are asking each person or company to bring a pack of paper or school uniform for an elementary aged child. If you have any type of swag for giveaways or a way that you all can partner with us, please feel free to join us!   To sign up for this opportunity please email Tamara "Joy" Hunter: Tamarajh@leeschools.net.   "Be Kind for Someone is pretending it's Sunny on a Rainy day!" #ItTakesaVillage #FancyBrains   Achiever ~ Woo ~ Positivity ~ Input ~ Ideation   Students who complete this event gain skills in Critical Thinking/Problem Solving, Teamwork/Collaboration, Leadership.
