Trade program is going strong for the Carpentry group! We are so grateful to our sponsors, donors, and volunteers who make this possible.
Last week, the students enjoyed learning terms and practicing literacy and vocabulary that has to do with the carpentry trade, then a trip to Home Depot to choose materials... And now - the building can begin! We can't wait to share their progress!
We are deeply grateful to the Admirals Cove Foundation for their decades of unwavering support of the Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center. Thank you for taking the time to visit us and for your incredible generosity in funding our new outdoor play area! This safe, engaging space allows our students to play, exercise, and grow in a secure environment. Your continued commitment to our mission has helped countless children reach their full potential through education, enrichment programs, and now, active outdoor play. You truly make a difference in our community's youth! 🌟 #CommunitySupport
Please join us in wishing a wonderful birthday to Ms. Mirna 💙❤️🎉
Exciting hands-on learning at the Edna W. Runner Education Center! Our carpentry students took a field trip to Home Depot with Mr. Ed and Mr. Fred to gather materials for their next project. They'll be putting their skills to work building bookshelves from scratch!
We're proud to offer practical trade education that gives our students real-world experience. From selecting materials to crafting finished pieces, our young carpenters are learning valuable skills that can last a lifetime.
Stay tuned to see the finished bookshelves! 🛠️📚

Join us in celebrating Black History Month at the Edna W. Runner Education Center! It is always a delight to welcome our seniors together. Thanks to our supporters from Velocity Community Credit Union , Publix, and The Jim Moran Foundation, we had an incredible event filled with vibrant cultural expressions and community spirit. Our celebration featured a stunning fashion show showcasing creativity and heritage. Unique jewelry shopping, and Insightful talks by our esteemed speakers: Josh Liller from the Jupiter Lighthouse and Jill from the Jupiter Medical Center Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Group.
Our talented students filled the air with music as they performed:
🎶 "Lift Every Voice" by our Kindergarten & First Grade
🎶 "I Can" by the 2nd and 3rd Graders
🎶 "Who Am I" by the 4th and 5th Graders
A special thank you to Mrs. Veronica, our Culinary Trade teacher, who harvested collard greens from Simon's Giving Garden to prepare a delicious soul food lunch. We are grateful to Ms. Rose Pineda for blessing the food and to our fabulous MC, Ms. Andrea Burgess, for guiding us through this inspiring event.
Together, we honor the past and celebrate the future! 🖤💛❤️
