Night of the Stars

It's an honor to host the Night of the Stars event each year!

Working shoulder to shoulder with our partners at St. Lucie Public Schools, we recognize the best and

brightest in public education. New this year is our School Resource Officer/Deputy of the Year category.

If your business would like to sponsor this category, Thom would love to hear from you.

Giving Play Tuesday

We're revamping the holiday and offering you the opportunity to Give Play this Tuesday (and throughout the season)!

We are excited to share that we now have the Play with Purpose program in each of our Kindergarten classrooms here in St. Lucie County Schools. We love that our students have the opportunity to incorporate play into their learning each week. These Play with Purpose kits foster social-emotional development through cooperation, sharing and conflict resolution, while helping to increase invaluable early literacy skills. They are true assets in the classrooms for our teachers and students. The only "problem" is that they are well, played with! They are always in need of a refresh, and we need your help to freshen! Your gift of $25, $50, $100 or $1,000 will be used directly to support the Play with Purpose program this holiday season. We will be supplying the kits with new restaurant items, grocery store finds, marine science lab equipment, veterinary clinic updates, firefighter gear and all sorts of playful, themed items our students will love. Thank you so much for supporting your Ed. Foundation. You are a Champion for Children!

Happy Giving "Play" Tuesday to All.

Teachers First

We are excited to be partnering with some outstanding restaurants in St. Lucie County - Big Apple Pizza, Fort Pierce and Big Apple Pizza Bayshore - for our Teachers First program. This program is one of the easiest and tastiest we've come up with yet! Nominate your favorite teacher (maybe its you!?) in the North or South County and give a brief statement why they're so special to you and your student. Every Monday, we will randomly select a teacher from each region to win a $30 gift card to the Big Apple Pizza in their area. That's all you have to do! Here's a link to the submission form. Thank you for loving our teachers as much as we do.
