Reggie Grant and Paco Fiallos

Meet Reggie Grant and Paco Fiallos, the Just Be Cool guys.  These two local educators and friends created the Just Be Cool campaign to promote inclusivity and positivity around the globe.

But their extraordinary positive influence started long before. Since meeting when they were both teachers at Lincoln High School, they have played in a faculty band together and worked on several initiatives to support teachers and students.  Constantly looking for new and creative ways to build community and lift up those around them, their efforts have been recognized near and far.  Paco won the local "Amazing Teacher" award in December 2020 - which qualified him for the national award... and he won that too!

Paco teaches IB English at Rickards High School, and Reggie is a Journalism professor at Tallahassee Community College.  But even though they're now at different schools, their friendship is rock solid and they motivate each other to make the world around them a better place.

Join us for this inspirational and hopeful chat with two local residents who work to create positive community connections on a daily basis.
