Yesterday was our first day back at LAJ, and what a fantastic day it was! Even with traffic growing pains, we loved seeing our friendly returning Tigers and welcoming SO many new Tigers to campus. There were plenty of smiles, excited students, and teachers full of energy ready to make this an awesome year! 🐾

What an uplifting way to end the school year at Lake Asbury Junior High! LAJ students and staff celebrated a truly special moment as Landon C. had his dream come true with an incredible pep rally! The excitement was electric as guitars rang out and the school chorus sang his favorite Metallica song. Just moments later, Landon learned the amazing news: he's headed to Tampa to see Metallica live in concert!
This heartwarming event was made even more special by the Kids Helping Kids Club, led by Mr. Will Wood, partnering with the Dreams Come True organization. Their dedication to compassion in action shines brightly and made this celebration and dream possible. #WeAreOneClay
