Girl Scout Troop 1401 Champions School
Zone Safety
|
|
We've got some fantastic news to share from this week's City Council meeting. Girl Scout Troop 1401 rocked the house by stepping up and requesting an extension of the school zone near DeBary Elementary. It all started when they noticed that their fellow classmates were facing a common issue, and some of them had experienced it themselves. So, these awesome fourth- and fifth-grade girls decided to put their leadership skills to work and advocate for their peers.
Guess what? Girl Scout Troop 1401 wrote a letter to our City Manager, asking for the school zone to go beyond the Donald E. Smith intersection. And you know what? Their letter made its way to the City Council, and after some seriously brave presentations from each of the Girl Scouts, their request was approved!
Let's give a big shout-out to Girl Scout Troop 1401 for bringing their concerns to the Council and showing us all what it means to be active members of the community. We're so proud of their efforts!
This is definitely a cause for celebration. The dedication and passion shown by Girl Scout Troop 1401 in making our school zone safer is truly inspiring. They've set an amazing example for other young people in our community.

New Light Fixtures at
Bill Keller Park
|
|
Great things are happening at
Bill Keller Park!
We're thrilled to announce that new light fixtures are now being installed above the basketball and tennis courts. However, for everyone's safety, the pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts have been temporarily closed during these much-needed improvements.
But don't worry! We're working diligently to get everything up and running as soon as possible. The anticipated completion of the lighting installation is expected by the beginning of June, which means the courts will be reopened before you know it!
We understand your eagerness to get back out there, so make sure to stay tuned for further updates. We'll keep you posted on the progress and let you know as soon as the courts are ready for some action!
Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm. Bill Keller Park is about to shine even brighter with these new light fixtures, enhancing your playing experience and ensuring your safety.
Stay tuned, stay active, and get ready to enjoy the revitalized courts once they reopen!
