You may see Flora and her staff along with Poppy and Pixie at community events across South Central Kentucky & Tennessee. Making a difference in the lives of others is the cornerstone of her practice. As a former teacher, Ms. Stuart founded Poppy Field Trip and Todays’ Leader recognizing students, teachers, and schools for service and leadership. She travels to schools all over our region often delivering school supplies.
BgOnStage was founded a decade ago by Ms. Stuart which is a 501 C charity bringing theater arts to schools and all ages. Ms. Stuart is proud to serve as president of the BGNoon Lions Club in 2019 to fundraise for charities. Her law firm has been a major sponsor for Toys For Tots, Stuff the Bus, Kiwanis’ Thunderfest, Kids On The Block and the International Center where she serves on the board.
Flora created Poppy’s Field Trip nearly 10 years ago to recognize the schools and programs in our community who have gone above and beyond for their students. Since then, Flora, Poppy, and the WBKO news crew have gone on over 150 field trips to more than 80 schools to present Poppy’s Star of Excellence Award.
Winning schools are featured on WBKO and entered into a drawing for the $2,000 Grand Prize to be chosen at the end of the school year.
