The school bell rings once again Monday,marking the start of another year. Im Tatyana Purifoy, your Quincy neighborhood reporter, with details on how one commissioner plans to start the school year off with a simple gesture.
This tradition is more than just a friendly greeting. For commissioner Green, it's about sending a message of encouragement and support directly to the students and families he serves.
As the first students walk through the doors, green is there to offer a warm smile and a few words of motivation, helping to set a positive tone for the entire school year.
Gadsden County Commissioner for District 5 Ronterious Green said, "As a leader in the county you should be hands on, we are a rural county uh small county everybody knows everybody everybody calls your friend so i feel like you need to be able to have that contact that that presence uh in community involvement is very important to me as a whole."
For many students, this small gesture can make a big difference, easing first-day jitters and inspiring confidence as they step into the classroom. Commissioner Green's first-day visits will take place bright and early Monday morning at several schools across the county.
"Last year I actually had the opportunity to get on the bus um I think some of the kids were getting ready to get transported to the west west gadsden. I think this was the meet up point so I was able to get on and to greet them and speak some positive words into their lives", said Green.
