I think this is amazing that our Sheriff Chip Simmons would take time out of his busy schedule to come and read to our children and help in the education process. I work with the Minority Coalition of Northwest Florida and many minorities. I think it is an awesome opportunity for these children to have a role model like this! God Bless him and this gentleman that was a mayor for making a difference in the lives of our children!
Why don’t we start with the literacy of the individuals that are planning one of the rr crossings on quintette hwy along with all of the other rr crossings shut downs in Escambia County? I think they need to learn to read the traffic in the area before they shut down the roads! Do ur work after work hours and not when the traffic is at its highest!
Great, if I was a kid in school, I would have been thrilled to have either gentlemen read to our class!
