Bravo to Jim Oliver, who just keeps on helping children! It's what he does!

 It's quite remarkable when you think about it. Jim Oliver was recently honored for his 33 years of outstanding service as an educator in Pinellas County schools. There's a big write-up about it in The Weekly Challenger. You really should read it. Jim Oliver spent his career developing programs designed to reach youngsters where they are in life and in their particular situations. Examples: programs to help teach middle school kids how to refuse drugs, programs to help them avoid domestic violence, programs to teach them golf and tennis (individual sports that call for individual efforts), programs introducing students to fine arts and classical music.

They're more, of course, but you get the idea. Three decades in Pinellas schools, making things better. What's he doing now? Mentoring kids at Melrose Elementary and, get this, developing a Community Mentoring Program. The man just continues, doesn't he? Bravo, Jim Oliver.
