We have added over 80,000 singles on our shop floor for you to go through at your own leisure. If you're here for minutes or hours - you will have fun finding what you want. We have walls of supplies, new wax and more! We are the only Topps MVP and Upper Deck Certified Diamond Dealer store in the area.

Venice AAUW Monthly Meeting

“Beyond Names, Dates & Dead People: Teaching Historical Literacy & Critical Thinking to Affect Change”

Let’s pack the house on Thursday March 9th to honor Dr. Jennifer Jaso, Sarasota County Schools Teacher of the Year for 2022 and a finalist for Florida Teacher of the Year in 2023! Dr. Jaso is excited to spend time with the Venice AAUW branch while discussing her work as a middle school history teacher. 

But wait – that title just brushes the surface! Jaso is also a critical thinking advocate! She is a district coordinator for National History Day and is committed to cultivating life-long learners who appreciate the past through research, inquiry, corroboration, and project-based learning. 

Jaso holds a Doctorate in Teaching and Learning with a concentration in American History. Her 18 years of teaching experience include Montessori, Gifted, Title I, and virtual learning. She is a state-wide leader in historical literacy and a founder or the Florida Council for History Education.
