Navarre Beach Lifeguards will host their annual Junior Lifeguard Program throughout June and July for students ages 9-13 and 14-15.
The program, now entering its third year, strengthens kids’ swimming and water-related skills while also teaching them about the ocean and waterways that are all around Northwest Florida.
The developer for a potential commercial shopping center – Navarre Town Center – says the project is moving right along. The Navarre Press first reported on the possible Navarre Town Center in March.
The center, which is being considered for future development by Robert “Bob” Benaquis, would essentially be a downtown shopping center in Navarre.
The Northwest Florida region has a rich colonial history with the Spanish, French, and British all having occupied parts of the area before the United States even began.
There has been plenty studied and written about the colonial period of this region and a new book seeks to pull all that research together and give proper context to the Spanish era, specifically from 1698 to 1763.
At most churches, the elders play a significant role. First Baptist Church of Navarre is no exception.
The Senior Adult Ministry, which is also known as Just Older Youth, is one of several ministries that First Baptist Church has.
Most people associate church with sitting in pews and listening to a sermon and maybe some worship music thrown in.
But Momentum’s youth group likes to do things differently every once in a while.
Each day at Holley-Navarre Middle School, the flag is raised and lowered by a select group of students.
These students are members of the Student Leadership Development Course, a program that has been at Holley-Navarre Middle since 2017. It has been taught by Lt. Col. Dan Schmidt since 2018.
At the end of May every year, Americans come together to commemorate and honor the sacrifices of those who have served in the military.
Although Memorial Day focuses on the sacrifices of those who died defending the United States, the veterans who survived still carry with them the scars of war.
Not too many people leave the kind of impact that Zack Butler did.
Butler was named 2023 Santa Rosa County School District Teacher of the Year just a few months ago, an honor he received for his work as an adaptive physical education teacher.
