The District recognizes Computer Science Week during the week of December 4-10, with schools participating in an Hour of Code.

This is an annual global effort designed to introduce students to computer science. Families can join in at home, too! Activities require no experience and can be run on browsers, tablets, or smartphones, and some don’t require any computer at all. To learn more and participate in an Hour of Code, click here!

The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County, District leaders, administrators, and community supporters came together to break ground on a new 32,000-square-foot facility in Lake Worth Beach. Once it opens in late 2024, it will serve as an innovation hub and a professional development space, support more than 100 programs for students and teachers, and facilitate the expansion of Red Apple Supplies. 

Nominated by a parent grateful for how her daughter's teacher uses kindness to motivate students to learn, Mrs. Colette Miller is beloved for all she does at Verde K-8!

For her passion for education and mission to empower students, Mrs. Miller has earned a $250 check from HCA Florida Healthcare as this week's Thank a Teacher winner.

Volunteers from Publix Super Markets and District leaders joined The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County in distributing school supplies valued at more than $230,000. The donations were raised through Publix's Tools for Back to School campaign.
