On Dec. 18 Senator Travis Hutson, Representative Cyndi Stevenson and Representative Paul Renner presented a State of Florida Proclamation to Dr. Joyner on the occasion of his retirement. The St. Johns County Legislative Delegation recognized his contributions to the St. Johns County community.
Masks were only removed momentarily to allow for a photo to be taken.
“Thank you Representative Cyndi Stevenson, Representative Paul Renner, and Senator Travis Hutson; I am honored to accept the State of Florida Proclamation from the St. Johns County Legislative Delegation recognizing my upcoming retirement. It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the St. Johns County community, both as Flagler College President and St. Johns County Schools Superintendent. Susan and I can’t wait to see where this next chapter of our lives takes us.”
To a chorus of Bir-bal! Bir-bal! Bir-bal! R.J. Murray Middle School sixth-grade science teacher Allison Birbal walked out into the school s courtyard Tuesday to learn with dozens of students, fellow teachers and administrators cheering her on that she was named one of three finalists for the St. Johns County School District s Teacher of the Year award.
The finalist announcements were no less spirited at each of the other two schools where Alicia (Ali) Pressel and Andrea O Brien received the news that they, too, were in the running for the 2020-21 award. Pressel is a biology and agricultural science teacher at Creekside High School, while O Brien is a library media specialist at Durbin Creek Elementary School.
