(West Palm Beach, FL). The Center for Creative Education (CCE) recently welcomed members of its newest standing committee, the Educational Services Advisory Committee (ESAC), with a reception at its West Palm Beach campus on April 11. The group serves a vital role within CCE, with a clear focus on governing the organization’s independent school, The Foundations School (TFS).

“Our aim is to ensure that our educational services exceed expectations, not only offering strategic guidance to enrich the TFS student’s learning experience through creativity and the arts, but also serving as a model for the field of teaching and learning,” said CCE’s Chief Operating Officer, Jerry Crank. “This group’s unwavering commitment to revolutionizing education is impressive, as are their credentials. We are fortunate to have the benefit of their expertise, experience and guidance.”

ESAC members include Marcia Bedasse, Associate Professor/Dean at the School of Education and Behavioral Studies at Palm Beach Atlantic University; Anthony Bethel, CEO at Godspeed Academy; Susannah Brown, Professor of Visual Art Education, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Florida Atlantic University; Fabiana DesRosiers, Chief Executive Officer at the Hispanic Human Resources Council; Charles Hagy, Head of Middle School at The Benjamin School; Tracy Haynes, Crisis Intervention Teacher at The School District of Palm Beach County; Grace M. Joyce, Development Service Operations Manager at The City of Riviera Beach; Timothy Ladd, Director of Teacher Education at Palm Beach Atlantic University; Eileen Lyons, Artist; Mary Moffett, Education Consultant; Eliana Mukherjee, Professor of Teacher Education at Palm Beach State College; Daniel Seager, Retired Lieutenant Commander of S.W.A.T. Team at the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office; Sylvia L. Sharps, Legislative and Advocacy consultant; Pilar Forero Taylor, Director of Stiles-Nicholson STEM Teacher Academy at Florida Atlantic University; Eric Telchin, author and broker at The Telchin Group LLC; and Chelneca Templeton, retired Provost and Dean of the School of Education and Behavioral Studies at Palm Beach Atlantic University.

The Foundations School at CCE is a K-5 independent school focused on improving literacy and weaving the arts into academic subjects. At the end of the last year, 89% of third graders at The Foundations School were reading on or above grade level compared to 21.5% in surrounding schools and 33% of 4th grade students nationwide. The Foundations School aims to enroll students from underserved communities; the school uses a sliding fee scale to determine family contributions to tuition and applies significant scholarships to cover the balance. This ensures that no family is turned away for an inability to pay.

“Transforming teaching and learning is at the heart of what we do,” said CCE President and CEO Robert Hamon. “With the support of the ESAC, we’re making significant strides towards our vision of a world where every student, regardless of their circumstances, can achieve academic success.”

The committee’s responsibilities are wide-ranging, from ensuring that the CCE’s work remains aligned with its mission and vision to identifying beneficial partnerships that can enhance the organization’s impact. Members are selected to represent a diverse cross-section of the community, ensuring that a variety of perspectives are brought to the table, and that all stakeholders are represented, which is crucial for fostering an inclusive educational environment.

Celebrating the 4th Annual EJS CommUNITY Block Party Presented by Pulte Family Charitable Foundation

By Julie Khanna

Measuring social impact in its entirety is as impossible as counting the water molecules in a cup runneth over, largely because the ripple effects travel far and wide lasting generations in longevity. Genuinely knowing the impact on so many lives cannot be assessed as one hand holds another, the way molecules bond in togetherness.

If impact could be quantified, it might look like the 4th Annual EJS CommUNITY Block Party presented by the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation in Delray Beach, Florida. A culmination of year-round efforts, it’s a place for all to unite and honor one another.

Around 1500 people from all over Palm Beach County gathered on May 4th, 2024, for the lively celebration of community, connectedness, and EJS Project’s mission to build and empower tomorrow’s leaders. The event symbolizes the vision originally set forth by Emanuel “Dupree” Jackson, Founder and Executive Director of the EJS Project, to reduce the vulnerability footprint for folks in the community he grew up in.

People danced in front of the stage, which amplified live performances from local talent, a drum circle, step teams, the DJ, and music. Children laughed and wove their way through the Kids Zone and bounce houses and got dressed up in first responder gear while exploring the ins and outs of emergency vehicles brought by the Delray Beach Fire Department and Delray Beach Police Department. The dunk tank drew a crowd as community leaders like Delray Beach Deputy Vice-Mayor Rob Long and Atlantic High Football Coach Jamelle Murray volunteered to make a splash. Games, a towering stilt walker, and contests entertained everyone. Local businesses, marketplace vendors, community resource tents, and food trucks were also present to keep attendees hydrated, fed, and well-informed. The day brought everyone together, emphasizing the UNITY in commUNITY.

“The energy is contagious. I want people to feel good year-round and know that they have help. Know that they’re not in this alone. That’s what I hope,” said Jackson. “Any movement is as strong as the people that believe in it. Our sponsors cover the production costs, so we can host a friendraiser that brings people together.”

Connecting the community to resources is a cornerstone of the EJS Project’s daily work and is met with eager participation from supporters- many of whom were in attendance.

“We are longtime supporters of the EJS Project. Community Partners of South Florida (CPSFL) is all about investing in community, and what better way to do that than to come out and support an event that brings families and communities together,” said Dr. Clarice Redding, Director of Advancement for CPSFL and one of the event sponsors in attendance.

On the other 364 days of the year, the EJS Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, provides teen mentorship and programming in a safe after-school center at 700 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444. Programming includes ‘Bout Dat Action, designed to keep youth engaged in City Commission meetings with the Delray Beach Police Department, beautification efforts, civic engagement, and leadership. Purpose Pays engages participants in meaningful employment, internships, and summer work experiences. Project Hub allows youth to drop in during the regular evening hours to hang out, complete homework, and utilize free WIFI and technology. Youth also have access to mental health support, and transportation is provided, eliminating one of the biggest obstacles to participation.

The youth that attend the center reflect Dupree Jackson’s childhood, and as an adult, he knew he wanted to be a producer of positive outcomes instead of a product of his environment.

“Watching Dupree grow the EJS Project over the years and seeing the impact on current and future generations has been inspiring. One of the first things that caught my attention was his passion for the work he’s doing, and it’s just been a pleasure to witness and be a part of,” said EJS Project Board Director Robert Shanfield.

As another successful year of the Annual EJS CommUNITY Block Party presented by the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation closes, the daily work continues. Creating positive core memories, refocusing trajectories, and decreasing vulnerability footprints guarantees that the impact will spill out well beyond the Delray Beach community, this generation, or every person the EJS Project has yet to meet for themselves- a promise that Emmanuel “Dupree” Jackson’s mission to empower tomorrow’s leaders is thriving.

LIGHTHOUSE ARTCENTER KICKS OFF SUMMER WITH A FREE KIDS EVENT ON MAY 31

Tequesta, Fla., (May 9, 2024) – Lighthouse ArtCenter (LAC) is gearing up for the summer season with an exciting Summer Kick-Off Event on Friday, May 31, from 1 pm to 3 pm. Held at LAC’s location at 373 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, FL 33469, this event offers free admission to the family-friendly “Stitching Spectacular” exhibition and engaging children’s activities, including storytimes, arts and crafts, a coloring contest, and light bites and refreshments. For more information, visit lighthousearts.org.

“Our Summer Kick-Off Event is a fantastic opportunity for families to come together and celebrate the beginning of summer with art and creativity,” expressed Jeni Licata, Executive Director of Lighthouse ArtCenter. “We’re delighted to provide complimentary admission to the ‘Stitching Spectacular’ exhibition and to offer children an array of interactive activities.”

Running through August 2, the “Stitching Spectacular” exhibition features the intricate textile art by Irem Yazici, which vividly brings to life scenes from the beloved children’s book ‘Princess Pinecone and the Wee Royals’ by C.C. Bernstein. Additionally, the exhibition will showcase eight collaborative textile yarn upcycle projects crafted by LAC’s summer campers. These pieces, aligning with the weekly summer camp themes, are available for a $300 donation, with each contribution funding a scholarship for a child to attend a week of LAC’s ArtCamp.

‘Princess Pinecone and the Wee Royals’ was inspired by stories Bernstein’s mother used to tell her before bedtime. The book centers on Princess Pinecone, who is the size of a grain of rice, and her friends and carries messages of empathy, forgiveness, and kindness. Bernstein earned an MFA in fictional writing from NYU and a B.A. in English from Georgetown University. She now resides in Connecticut, working on her debut novel.

Irem Yazici, the talented hand embroidery artist behind the intricate stitchings, is from Eskisehir, Turkey. Self-taught and endlessly creative, Irem’s work has garnered international acclaim and has been featured in prestigious publications such as TextileArtist.org, Vice’s The Creator’s Project, and Vogue.

Summer ArtCamp runs from June 3 to August 2 and provides kids aged 5 to 11 with an immersive artistic experience. From “Surfin’ Safari” to “Space Odyssey,” each week of camp offers exciting themes and hands-on projects, including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and more. LAC offers dynamic one-day workshops for teens aged 12 to 16 for $136 that explore fused glass, jewelry making, and recycled collage techniques.

Final Polo Match of 2024

Photos and Story by Alan Fabricant

In a “friendly” match between the USA and Argentina the 2024 NPC polo season came to a close before a loud, cheering group of spectators.

Argentina started with a one goal advantage due to handicapping, however it was not nearly enough to overcome a very strong USA team made up of Finn Secunda, Joaquin Avendano, Nico Escobar and Cody Ellis.

At halftime the score had the USA ahead 7-5.  The second half was dominated both offensively and defensively by team USA with a final score of 13-6.

The Argentinian team was comprised of Nacho Cabrera, Fernando Maciel Talavera, Agustin Obregon and Pablo Dorignac.
