You may have noticed a new addition to our Student Center Lobby. With the help and generous gifts and talents of several in our community, we now have beautiful trophy cases filled with memorabilia from over the years. 

The trophy cases, a gift from Ashley and Chris Chaney (parents to Penelope- 3rd and Charlie- K), were previously located in Andrew's Downtown on the corner of Adams and Jefferson Street. When Ashley began the visions for her new restaurant, the Hayward House - in that very location, she offered the cases to the school. We were thrilled to give them a new home and have the opportunity to have a piece of Tallahassee history. Leo Bonell, dad to Blake (3rd), Maddie (class of 2021) and husband to Mrs. Bonell (4th grade teacher), delicately disassembled, transported, and rebuilt the cases in our Student Center Lobby. The cases fit perfectly and look like they were custom-made for the space.

This week, parents Katherine Boland (Everett- class of 2022, Eva- 7th and Eliza- 5th) and Gina Coffas (Owen- 5th and Quinn- 3rd) gathered trophies and memorabilia from across campus and thoughtfully filled the cases. The addition of the cases bring a sense of pride and nostalgia to our Student Center Lobby. 

Thank you Ashley, Chris, Leo, Katherine and Gina for your time, talents and generous gifts. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to give the cases new life while showcasing the accomplishments of our students and athletes. Community initiatives like these truly make such an impact, and it's fantastic to see the collaboration and generosity within our school community. Families, next time you are on campus, stop in to take a look!
