| A Day of Inspiration and Education | |
The GRAND HAVEN Women's CLUB had a wonderful time today exploring the incredible work happening in our local schools. We started our morning at Rymfire Elementary School, where the energy and creativity of the younger students truly brightened our day!
From there, we headed to Flagler Palm Coast High School to see the impressive programs and pathways available to our community’s future leaders. It’s inspiring to see the teachers' dedication and the students' focus firsthand.
To top it all off, we were treated to a phenomenal lunch prepared by the FPC Culinary Team. From the presentation to the very last bite, everything was delicious! It’s clear these students have a bright (and tasty!) future ahead of them.
Thank you to the staff and students at both schools for welcoming us so warmly. Flagler Schools.

The interactive "Passport" challenge was a huge success! Students loved visiting different tables to earn stamps for a chance to win gift cards.
