FINALLY! @LessThanJake will be given the Keys to the City of Gainesville!🔑
Well deserved and long overdue. This completes the trifecta of Gainesville punk’s BIG 3 who have earned the prestigious honor.🥳🥳
Who wouldn't want to take this UF course? That story, plus the latest on security, clubs, the education commissioner's unpopular speech to school board members and more, in today's @TB_Times Florida education news roundup.

What a special day at LHS! The district & school named the theatre after @Miles_Teller, who then (with his wife) surprised the Citrus Co. Education Foundation w/ a $50K donation.
The Top Gun star spoke to kids at his alma mater on the very stage where he cut his teeth in acting.
On Saturday, @LessThanJake did a benefit acoustic show with @coffeeprojectfl at First Magnitude to raise money for Grace Marketplace, a homeless/rehabilitation center in Gainesville.🤘
Lamar Jackson’s 2024 season:
• First QB ever to throw for 4,000+ yards and rush for 900+ yards
• First QB ever to have 40+ pass TD and fewer than 5 INT
• 119.6 passer rating, 4th best in NFL history
This historic season resulted in nothing at NFL Honors. No MVP. No OPOY. Nada.
Wild.
If stats are most important, Lamar Jackson is the MVP.
If wins are most important, Patrick Mahomes is the MVP.
If feeling bad that somebody has never won an award before is most important, Josh Allen is the MVP.
3/3 - But Shaq had another surprise. Shaq upgraded his Christmas gift for the young men, promising them all new vehicles!
Great way to kick off the Very GNV Holiday Parade💪
1/3 - About 8 years ago, Gainesville police officer Bobby White was dispatched to a neighborhood where kids being noisy in the street. He instead began playing basketball with the kids, which was caught on his dash cam. The video went viral.
2/3 - He returned on another day and brought Shaq with him to play ball.
Today, Shaq is back in Gainesville as the Grand Marshal for holiday parade. He met with Officer White & some of the kids in that video. Shaq told each one he would give them $5K for staying out of trouble
