Today was an extra special day at Lawton Chiles Elementary!
We were honored to welcome Hillsborough County Public Schools Superintendent Van Ayres to Chiles to help celebrate two of our incredible staff members, Mrs. Keigher and Mr. Zang, after Mrs. Hernandez nominated them as Hillsborough Treasures for their outstanding work, dedication, and continued support of student learning each and every day!
The visit also included a stop in our cafeteria to recognize our amazing SNS team and thank them for their hard work, care, and daily commitment to serving our students.
