STUDENT OF THE MONTH will begin at the end of September.

All FOC Kids and Families are cordially invited to attend a special outdoor event at Mission BBQ on Bruce B. Downs/Fletcher on Saturday, September 11^th. On this day, our world changed forever. It is a day that Americans will never forget as our Nation’s Heroes ran in, so that others could run out during this attack on American soil.

We are hosting this 20-Year commemorative ceremony in our parking lot just before 12:00 Noon to honor those Fire, Police and First Responders lost on that fateful day, while also showing our resilience as a Nation, and thanking our local Community heroes here in Tampa.

Beginning at 11:00 AM, everyone will have the opportunity to experience presentations/exhibitions by local First Responders including a Helicopter Landing, Bomb Squad demonstration, Temple Terrace Police exhibit, Temple Terrace Fire team, multiple Tampa Police exhibits with their dogs and horses, Tampa Fire Rescue, USF Police and their K-9’s, Crisis Center EMS, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, VA Police, PBA, among others.

The National Anthem will be professionally sung at Noon, and the St. Andrews Bag Pipe Troupe will also be present to provide musical entertainment.

We look forward to seeing you there to honor this important day in American History.
