#CCSDGoldKey We have a very special Gold Key Award recipient this month: Lavina Reed Lavina's husband and children (pictured) accepted the award at last night's board meeting as Lavina passed away in December. Lavina was a wonderful mentor and advocate for Bluff Elementary students, staff and families for 22 years. She was instrumental in developing and organizing many programs. She was a voice for all children and did her all to prepare them for life's challenges. Lavina is most deserving and we are happy to know that she knew she was receiving the Gold Key. We are forever grateful for Lavina's dedication to our CCSD students. Thank you, Lavina. #CCSDFamily
