Readers are leaders and it was great to see all of the young leaders at the Jax Library Preschool Palooza today. It was the @mayordeegan.bsky.social first appearance for her new River City Readers Bookmobile and we loved giving away books and putting smiles on so many faces!

Giving keys to the city is always exciting. Last night @mayordeegan.bsky.social awarded the 🔑 to our local Olympic stars Caeleb Dressel, Ryan Murphy and Poe Pinson. A highlight of the @cityofjax.bsky.social tree 🌲 lighting spectacular!

My first skeet was one year ago today. I figure, why not make this an annual tradition?
So behold this year’s Black Friday pie, which of course is now, and shall forevermore be, the breakfast of champions.

A fantastic time at Andrew Robinson Elementary as @mayordeegan.bsky.social helped take attendance, and celebrated kids doing well at coming to class! All part of our “Show Up to Shine” initiative to improve school attendance in Duval County schools.

A bit of joy: found my tattered old “Little House on the Prairie” and “Nancy Drew” books from my childhood in the garage. They are all very well loved as you can see. The Nancy Drews belonged to my mom when she was a girl. These books are so precious to me and they will go to my daughters one day. 📚

“Choose love for each other over fear of the other.” @donnadeegan.bsky.social opening remarks at the fall meeting of the Jacksonville Transformation Coalition. The JTC was formed after last summer’s racist mass shooting at a Jacksonville Dollar General store. Our work continues.

Under a blue sky, (see what I did there?) @donnadeegan.bsky.social joins with JTA to plan a tree next to a city bus stop. The City of Jax is also rolling out its first Urban Forestry Management Plan as we plant many more 🌳 to mitigate the impact of a warming planet.
