We are extremely excited to get the 4th Quarter of the Davidson Appreciates Teachers campaign under way! And, this time we are showing appreciation for our resource teachers at Wards Creek Elementary and Mill Creek Elementary Schools. We hope parents, students, teachers and staff will jump at the chance to show these special teachers how much they are needed and appreciated.
Starting Monday, January 30th through February 13th we will be collecting nominations for all the resource teachers including PE, Guidance Counselors, Art, Media Specialists, Music, Computer and Spanish. Our top-ranked St. Johns County school system has some of the best resource teachers in the state of Florida and we want to make sure they get the recognition they deserve. All you need to do is email Peyton at PDavidson@DavidsonRealtyInc.Com or give her a call at (904) 940-5000 and let her know who you would like to nominate. Tell us why you think your favorite Wards Creek Elementary or Mill Creek Elementary resource teacher deserves to be recognized. Voting will kick off on the Davidson Realty Facebook Page on February 15th and go until March 15th. Your winner will be announced on March 20th right before Spring Break!
What are you and your friends doing on Saturday, November 12th? I know the perfect way to get your weekend started! Marching in the March of Dimes‘ annual fundraiser, the March for Babies walk, is a great way to have quality time with your favorite people. March of Dimes is an organization that provides support for many families in OUR community. They are dedicated to improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
I have participated in the walk for the last 4 years with Davidson Realty. Davidson Realty has been participating for the past 16 years. Registration starts at 8 a.m. at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. The views from the school over the Intracostal are absolutely beautiful! The energy from the participants is guaranteed to warm your heart and put a smile on your face. To top that off Dunkin Donuts will get you going on (my favorite) coffee and donuts. There is a DJ and Joy Purdy from First Coast News is the MC. (more…)

by Ethan Best, 8th Grade, Pacetti Bay Middle School
When my Mom told me that I would have to volunteer this past Saturday (Oct. 22) for Make a Difference Day, I wasn’t exactly excited. I play tennis at Ponte Vedra High School on most Saturdays and then hang out with my friends or go to Vilano or St. Augustine Beach. But as a student at Pacetti Bay Middle School, I am required to do some community service so I figured I may as well get involved with Make a Difference Day.
We teamed up with Davidson Realty who does a lot of community service. Last year they built wheelchair-friendly access ramps for homes. This year they connected with the St. Johns Housing Partnership to paint one of 12 homes in need in the St. Augustine area. We met up Saturday morning at 8:30 at a small house just off King Street in St. Augustine. (more…)

- Mrs. Davis and Lucas – Our Back to School Coloring Contest Winners
Beginning the school year is not always an easy task. Getting the supplies, the clothes, physicals and the paperwork done can be quite a challenge, but there is something to be said for the regimen that a new school year offers a family. For one, it is a new beginning, an opportunity for the whole family to grow and become wiser. Maybe wiser to how much growth your child has made over the summer. I look at my daughters and am in awe of not just their physical growth, but their intellectual strides as well. Not only do our kiddos need new clothes, but new books too! That’s why Davidson Realty came up with a contest to help Mill Creek Elementary and Wards Creek Elementary students have an opportunity to win $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble for a student and their teacher. The winning student was Lucas Kleiber in Mrs. Davis’s first grade class at Wards Creek Elementary. Congrats Lucas!!! What a sweetie he is.
Giving Lucas and Mrs. Davis their gift certificates was a fun adventure. Lucas and I got to be guests on the afternoon news show. I shared with the students that starting today, October 3rd, I would begin taking nominations for 4th and 5th grade teachers at Mill Creek and Wards Creek for the 3rd Quarter of the Davidson Appreciates Teachers Contest. One student couldn’t wait though - Meenal Deshmukh from Mill Creek nominated Mrs. Jackson because “she is a wonderful teacher who makes the classroom learning exciting and fun. She motivates the students to go above and beyond to perform their level best!” WOW! That is AWESOME! Here is what I am asking the parents and students at the elementary schools to do – call me (Kristen) at (904) 940-5000 or email me at KCalhoun@DavidsonRealtyInc.Com and tell me why your teacher is the best!
