*District & Community Updates*
Dear Friends of Wellness:
As we are ending the month of June and beginning July - we want to celebrate what began 244 years ag o this Saturday, July 4th - the birth of the American Independence . W ith festivities traditionally ranging from fireworks, parades, and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues...we wish you all good health and safety during these challenging times as we celebrate the journey this amazing country we live in has experienced for so many years.

We all must continue making our country a better place by making wise contributions and wise baby steps daily. This week, we step into delivering important results and feedback to the School Board on Wednesday, July 1st from the surveys submitted by parents and employees of our School District in regards to our schools reopening - and by Wednesday, July 15th we should have clearer decisions of what the next school year will look like and/or feel like for so many of us...especially our children around our entire Palm Beach County.

As time flies, let's continue having an open mind and working together to support the kick-OFF of a successful school year in the near future.  We will press on with the focus on inclusion of equity and unity in everything moving forward, and educating everyone about the importance of the  Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child  model as we accelerate our actions into successful and gratifying outcomes.

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
