We loved hosting some of the amazing kids from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Florida as part of the Beyond School Walls: Tipping The Scale program, which gives young people valuable real-world experience.

During their visit, we explored a hand-swab experiment to show just how important proper handwashing is — and let’s just say, we definitely turned some heads. We may have a few future doctors in the group! 🏥

Giving back to our community is woven into everything we do at , and we’re excited to continue mentoring these bright Yulee High School students throughout the school year.

We recently received our 16th consecutive “A” grade for Safety from The Leapfrog Group, and we couldn’t have done it without amazing volunteers like Tom!
