# 🎳 STRIKE up the fun for Spring Break! 🎳
The energy was BOWLING us over on Thursday when our amazing Edna W. Runner Education Center students hit the lanes at Jensen Beach Bowling! Nothing beats seeing those smiles, hearing the cheers after a strike, and watching our kids enjoy some well-deserved spring break fun!
A HUGE shoutout to our incredible staff who came together to create such a memorable spring break week for our students! From planning activities to chaperoning trips, your dedication to giving these kids an amazing experience truly shows. You're all superstars in our book! ⭐
And special thanks to Jensen Beach Bowling for hosting us and making sure our students had a BALL! Your hospitality and patience with our enthusiastic bowlers made the day extra special.
Who knew learning to count pins and taking turns could be so much fun? That's what we call education in disguise! 😉
Here's to making memories that will last far longer than spring break! 💕

What a way to end our incredible Spring Break Week! Today's Water Day celebration had our students laughing, splashing, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. From water slides to a huge water balloon battle, the joy on everyone's faces was absolutely priceless!
A HUGE thank you to Prime Time Palm Beach County, Inc. for making this special day possible through their QIS Grant. Your support allows us to transform ordinary days into extraordinary experiences for our students.
This entire Spring Break Week has been filled with adventures, creativity, and friendship. We've watched our students explore, learn, and grow through each carefully planned activity.
None of this would be possible without our amazing donors whose generosity fuels these life-changing programs. You don't just fund activities – you help create childhood memories that shape who these young people become. Your support ripples through generations.
Here's to many more weeks like this one! 🌊☀️ #SpringBreakFun #WaterDay #CommunitySupport #ThankfulThursday

Art is amazing! We are pleased to see our students enjoy creating special projects during Spring Break.
Art is crucial in elementary school because it fosters creativity, problem-solving skills, and social-emotional development, while also enhancing cognitive abilities and academic performance… and it’s fun! ❤️🎨🖌️
# 🌳 Spring Break Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🌱
Today, our wonderful students from the Edna W. Runner Education Center kicked off their spring break with a meaningful visit to the Gendelman Children's Holocaust Memorial Tree. This remarkable monument—the largest sculpture of its kind in the Southeast—stands as a powerful tribute to the 1.5 million children whose lives were tragically taken during the Holocaust.
There's something truly special about watching young minds engage with history in such a tangible way. Our elementary students walked around the memorial, asked thoughtful questions, and participated in age-appropriate discussions about remembrance and compassion.
These early experiences with historical sites and memorials are so crucial for our children's development. By exposing elementary students to different historical experiences, we help them build empathy, understanding, and a broader perspective of our world's past—planting seeds that will grow into informed, compassionate citizens.
A heartfelt thank you to the Holocaust Learning Experience for making this visit possible and for creating such a meaningful space for reflection and education. You're helping us teach the next generation that remembering history is how we create a better future. ❤️

We're overflowing with appreciation for the Palm Beach Sheriff's Foundation and Deputy Woods for their incredible support of our summer camp program at the Edna W. Runner Education Center! 💙
Keeping our students engaged, active, and learning during the summer months is absolutely crucial for their development and well-being. Thanks to partners like the Sheriff's Foundation, we can provide meaningful activities that build skills and create lasting memories.
We are having our Spring Luau to support Summer Camp on April 17th at the Center. Don't miss out! You can help make summer special for our elementary students.
It truly warms our hearts to see the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office investing in our community's future through programs like ours. Their dedication to service goes far beyond protection - it extends to nurturing the potential in every child.
Did you know? Palm Beach County is the size of Delaware with approximately 1.5 million residents and one of the largest Sheriff's Offices in the country! Supporting the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Foundation is a rewarding way to positively impact this large, diverse community we all call home.
We're overflowing with appreciation for the Palm Beach Sheriff's Foundation and Deputy Woods' incredible support of our Edna W. Runner Education Center summer camp program! 💙

What happens when you bring seniors and kids together for Spring Break? Pure magic!
Our intergenerational Spring Break event was a HUGE success! Digital Vibez, Inc brought the beats that had EVERYONE - young and young at heart - up and moving on the dance floor. The dance competition was FIERCE with impressive moves from all ages!
After working up a sweat, our seniors cooled off in the air conditioning with several exciting rounds of bingo, competing for chocolate treats and $1 bills. The competitive spirit was strong!
A special thank you to Mrs. Veronica for preparing a delicious lunch featuring roast chicken, green beans, pasta salad, fresh rolls, and cookies - amazing, as always!
None of this would be possible without the generous support of The Jim Moran Foundation and Velocity Community Credit Union. Their commitment to funding intergenerational community programs helps us create these meaningful connections between our youth and seniors. 🙏
📣 REMINDER: Join us for our Wellness Fun Fair this Saturday, April 5th from 10AM-1PM! The entire community is invited for food, wellness activities, and tons of fun. Don't miss it!

What could possibly be more fun on a @fun Friday” than to make pizza? Our students absolutely love the creativity that comes with learning culinary skills. Measuring ingredients, enjoying teamwork, and being together supports all kinds of academic learning. Plus, it tastes amazing when all of those skills come together to make a yummy pizza! Thank you to Ms. Veronica and Miss Diana😊for working with our students for this really fun day.”
