LANTANA COMMUNITY HEROES

Lantana Portrait Company wanted to start recognizing the heroes in our community, so they created a Facebook album just for them!

Wernher has been the crossing guard for Blanton Elementary School and is always smiling while helping our little kiddos. You can nominate who you think should be Lantana Portrait Company’s next hero and the nominee will receive a free portrait session! photo courtesy of Lantana Portrait Company social media page
