🌟 FAMILY VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT! 🌟

Let’s give a huge round of applause to our incredible mother-daughter duo, Mrs. Scott-Reynolds & Castalia! 🦅💙

This amazing team has dedicated over 115 hours at the Lee County Schools PTO Thrift Store to support J.R. Ingram Elementary!

Originally from Jamaica, where giving back is a core part of their culture, Mrs. Scott-Reynolds and Castalia started volunteering just an hour at a time after school. By July, they were spending four hours a day organizing racks, creating seasonal displays, and helping our school community thrive!

"Just do it – you won’t regret it!"

Their Challenge to You:

Mrs. Scott-Reynolds and Castalia are challenging every J.R. Ingram family to volunteer just ONE shift next month! Whether you bring your spouse, a grandparent, a teenager, or a friend, your time makes a massive impact. Once our school hits its 150-hour goal, every additional hour earns extra funding directly for our students!

Ways you can help support:
🛍️ Shop for amazing bargains

📦 Donate gently used items

🤝 Volunteer your time (the most important way to help!)

Thank you, Mrs. Scott-Reynolds & Castalia, for your dedication, hard work, and servant hearts! 💛

📍 Want to volunteer? Stop by the PTO Thrift Store or visit our front office for more information. Together, we S.O.A.R.! ✨

Please join us in welcoming Ms. Willoughby to the J.R. Ingram family! We are excited to have her bring her 14 years of teaching experience to our fourth-grade team. Her passion for education and love for building strong relationships with students will help our Eagles learn, grow, and keep soaring. Welcome to the nest, Ms. Willoughby! 🦅💙💛
