Raa Principal Marcus Scott speaks during the official reveal of the school s new mural.
On the first day of class, RAA Middle School students will see a big, new mural on their school s front wall. The project was made possible by the current Leadership Tallahassee Class, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.
The artists for the giant image, showing RAA s many educational offerings, was Sarah Painter and Cosby Hayes. It really has been an honor and special experience to bring the campus to life and to have the kids come out and help paint was really special, said Painter. Maybe we can do more at all the other schools in the county, quipped Hayes.
More than 5,800 people are still waiting on a COVID-19 vaccine from the Leon County Department of Health. We are not able to provide an approximate wait time for call backs and continue to ask our senior community for patience as we continue to manage a high volume of request forms, Pam Saulsby, Leon County health department spokeswoman, wrote in an email to the Tallahassee Democrat.
The local health department did not specify how many doses of the vaccine it currently has and noted that the vaccine doses it does receive are shared with local healthcare providers.
Saulsby added that if seniors miss a call from the health department or Leon County volunteers, their names remain on the department s master list. Volunteers will continue to call, but will not leave voicemails, she said.
