• Teacher shortage solution: Palm Beach County School District welcomes 18 new teachers through education program (wpbf.com) — A longtime aide at Lantana Elementary is among 18 new teachers Palm Beach County is adding this fall through a free associate teacher program aimed at easing shortages. The initiative helps current school employees earn degrees and certifications while working, and district leaders expect nearly 50 more teachers by next year, potentially strengthening staffing at Lantana-area schools. 
• Local WWII veteran returns to Normandy 82 years after D-Day (wpbf.com) — A 100-year-old Navy veteran from Lantana has just returned to Normandy for the first time since he fought on Omaha Beach during D-Day, where he was honored with France’s Legion of Honor. Traveling with his son, he revisited the exact spot he served, paid tribute to fallen comrades, and was deeply moved by the gratitude of local residents who still credit veterans like him for their freedom.
