Dear Friend of Wellness:
Let us rejoice and be happy that this New Year 2023 will be filled with continued fortitude, hope, and positive outcomes. By doing so, our District continues to focus on embracing and promoting the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child culture everyday to maintain its positive traction and movement.
After careful assessment and consideration of our business, we will be cancelling the February 2nd upcoming Wellness Promotion Task Force (WPTF) meeting; however, we will deliver our Wellness Celebration on April 20, 2023. This decision was made to allow for the greatest support to our schools and departments.
Let's keep pressing on and...
Never Give UP!
Continue being a beacon of LIGHT for all the children
and each other...
Let's grow STRONGER together!
~ Be healthy and safe ~
Paula

Holiday Recap with the District...
The holidays are a time for togetherness! It allows us to celebrate by spreading kindness and holiday cheer with our students, families, staff, and the community at large.
| Before the break, Superintendent Mike Burke shared a heartfelt holiday greeting with students, staff, and the entire community. Along with the holiday message, below are three wonderful stories of goodness: The principal at Boca Raton Elementary was able to provide every student in the school with a new toy to take home ahead of Winter Break, thanks to the generosity of the surrounding community. Next, the principal and teachers at Jupiter Middle made dreams come true for students marking their first holiday season in the United States with The Hope Project. And, last but not least, Jeaga Middle's pre-culinary academy students got some practice hosting a holiday meal while paying it forward to their dedicated school bus drivers. | |
