Today was my 34th first day of school at First Academy-Leesburg ! My students from K-12 are amazing! We had a great day. One of the sweetest moments was in kindergarten when I was explaining to them that brand new playground equipment is being installed. On my way out of the room a little girl stopped me and asked if she could ask me a question. I said of course you can! As I bent down to listen to her, she said, "Mr. Frescoln, when the playground is ready, will you come play with us"? Why, yes I will!

Let an incredible year begin for all of our sweet kiddos!

The First Academy-Leesburg FAmily is grieving for our coworker Carla, and her children Chase and Abigail upon the loss of their husband and father, Sgt. John Hollowell. He was an amazing man and will be missed. Please keep this wonderful family in your prayers.

Yesterday morning, we received the sad and tragic news that LPD Sergeant John Hollowell passed away suddenly, in Ocala.

After serving our nation in the United States Army, Sergeant Hollowell began his career with the Leesburg Police Department on October 17, 2002. Sergeant Hollowell served with great pride and zeal throughout his twenty-four-year career, and he received multiple awards and commendations for his outstanding service. During his tenure, he worked as a K9 handler, SWAT officer, Task Force Officer, and as a Criminal Investigator before taking over Squad 3 as their patrol sergeant in August of 2024.

Sergeant Hollowell was a courageous leader and was well-loved by everyone at the police department. More importantly, John was a devoted family man to his wife, Carla, and a dedicated father to his children, Chase and Abigail. He often spoke about his family with deep dedication and devotion.

While Sergeant Hollowell ended his journey on earth yesterday, his legacy will continue on through the officers he mentored and the family he so deeply loved. Please, keep his family, friends and colleagues in your prayers during this difficult time...Thank you.
