Michelle Moore, a devoted exceptional education teacher at Belle Terre Elementary School, was awarded Flagler Schools 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year at a gala hosted at the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center.

Moore, who leads kindergarten and first graders in the autism unit, credited her team for her success and is eager for the professional development opportunities this honor provides.

Campus security officer Calvin Grant from Flagler Palm Coast High School (FPC) was celebrated as Employee of the Year after 26 years of dedicated service.

Bobby Bossardet of FPC received Principal of the Year, and Abra Seay was named Assistant Principal of the Year after almost missing the event for her newest grandchild’s arrival.

The evening’s “Legacy by the Sea” celebration highlighted outstanding staff and educators, reaffirming Flagler Schools’ dedication to inspiring excellence and community impact.

The City of Palm Coast will unveil its brand-new mobile app at the upcoming Connecting to Palm Coast Expo on February 12, 2026.

This community event, hosted at the Palm Coast Community Center on Palm Coast Parkway NE, runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The mobile app aims to streamline how residents access city services, stay updated on local news, and receive crucial notifications.

The city’s Information Technology team will be on hand to help attendees download the app, offer demonstrations, and answer questions.

The expo will also feature resources supporting newcomers, including opportunities to sign up for the Homestead Exemption, register to vote, and receive health screenings like eye and diabetes tests.

All vendor spots are filled for February, but another expo is planned for September 17.

Participation is reserved for local non-profits, civic groups, and government agencies.

Noble Infusion is preparing to launch its third clinic in Palm Coast by late February, as the need for advanced medical treatments grows locally.

The new location at 50 Leanni Way, Suite A5, is already booking appointments, offering timely access to crucial infusion therapies for area residents.

These specialized treatments deliver medications directly into the bloodstream, helping patients manage chronic conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, high cholesterol, gout, arthritis, and osteoporosis.

Founder Shaya Fogel highlighted the lifelong benefits of these therapies, including improved outcomes and access for those often overlooked elsewhere.

Noble Infusion also works to ease financial burdens by assisting patients in obtaining cost assistance.

Staffed with experienced clinicians, the clinic offers over 70 FDA-approved treatments to the Palm Coast community.

With new facilities like the Freytag Cancer Center opening nearby, Palm Coast continues to strengthen its healthcare resources for residents.

🌿 Outdoor & Living Survival

Gear Maintenance and Storage for Florida's Outdoor Equipment

Proper maintenance and storage of outdoor gear ensures your equipment lasts longer and performs reliably, especially in Florida’s humid and variable climate.

From hiking boots to camping tents, a little routine care goes a long way in protecting your investments and keeping your adventures safe.

• Clean Gear After Each Use: Remove dirt, sand, and salt residue from tents, backpacks, and footwear to prevent mold and material degradation.
• Dry Thoroughly: Florida humidity promotes mildew.
  
  Air-dry tents, tarps, and clothing completely before storing to avoid odors and rot.
• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Avoid attics or garages that heat up; choose shaded indoor areas or breathable storage bags to preserve fabrics and materials.
• Inspect and Repair: Check for tears, loose stitching, or broken hardware.
  
  Repair minor damage promptly to prevent it from worsening.
• Maintain Tools and Metal Gear: Clean, dry, and lightly oil knives, axes, and other metal tools to prevent rust from Florida’s moisture.
• Rotate Seasonal Equipment: Keep frequently used items accessible while storing off-season gear safely in labeled bins or racks to reduce wear.

Tip: Use silica gel packs or moisture absorbers in storage containers to reduce humidity and protect sensitive items like electronics, sleeping bags, and tents.

⚠️ Safety: Always check gear functionality before heading outdoors.

Faulty equipment can create dangerous situations in remote areas — a quick pre-trip inspection is essential.
