Today’s Senior Program was filled with learning, laughter, and creativity! 💛
We were joined by Detective Melissa Haber from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, who shared valuable tips on how to recognize and avoid common fraud schemes. After we enjoyed painting festive pumpkins, playing bingo, and sharing a great meal together. We’re so grateful for opportunities like these to learn, connect, and celebrate community!

🎉 The Countdown Begins! 🎉
Last year’s gala, The Dream Continues, was an unforgettable night, filled with joy, reflection, and hope for the future of the Edna W. Runner Education Center. 💜
Now, as we approach our 40th Anniversary Gala on February 21, 2026, we’re celebrating this milestone with a new series:
✨ 40 Stories 40 Years ✨
Over the next 20 weeks, we’ll share stories from alumni, volunteers, community partners and members who have shaped the Center’s legacy, and those carrying it forward today.

To kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, we asked our kids to share their favorite Spanish words. Their answers remind us how fun learning together can be! Comment below if you learned something new today too. 🌟
#HispanicHeritageMonth #learningtogether #ednawrunnercenter
Friday our elementary students had an incredible STEM learning experience they'll never forget - dissecting sheep brains! 🧠 This hands-on activity allowed our curious young scientists to explore neuroscience and understand the amazing functions of the brain.
STEM education provides our students with critical thinking skills, encourages curiosity, and builds the foundation for future success in an increasingly technological world. These experiences spark imagination and show our students that they can be tomorrow's scientists, engineers, and innovators!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to David and Lynn Nicholson, Stiles-Nicholson Foundation Florida Atlantic University Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute for their tremendous generosity in making this extraordinary learning opportunity possible. Their commitment to enriching our afterschool program gives our students access to experiences they might otherwise never have.
At the Edna W. Runner Education Center, we believe every child deserves access to exceptional educational opportunities - and thanks to partners like the Nicholsons and FAU, our students continue to receive world-class STEM experiences!
