CORAL SPRINGS CANDIDATES' DAY

Our first ever candidate's breakfast produced six candidates for office in the City of Coral springs - both candidates for the offices of Mayor and Seat 2 and two of the four candidates for Seat 4.  ( Although invited Robert Pasin and Mike Natale for Seat 4 elected not to show up.)  Each candidate was given time to address the audience after which a short Q & A was had.  Elections are March 14th and hopefully Coral Springs will improve its abysmal voter turn-out record.


OTHER STUFF

Senior of the Month

What would the end of the month be without John "Big Bucks" Congemi showing up for a free breakfast and using Senior of the Month for an excuse :-)  Before introducing this month's senior John brought us up to date on the doings at MSD High, including the fact that the girl's soccer team won its 4th straight state championship, a feat never done by any school, private or public, in the state of Florida.  WAY TO GO.

The Senior of the Month this month was Jason Gray.  Jason is President of the State Championship Debate Team, Vice President of the Student Technology Leadership Program, Vice President of the National Honor Society, and Co-Vice President of the English Honor Society.

Jason also organized various service projects, including the Computers for Children Program, a volunteer initiative aimed to even the playing field for the underprivileged youth in the community through computer technology donations to families and organizations.

Youth Exchange Orientation

Birch State Park

We were well represented at the recent orientation weekend for exchange students at Birch State Park in Fort Lauderdale.  Saturday evening Paul and Elsa Marineau, Pat and Sam Hornsby and Todd Dayton showed up to dish out dinner.  We were also represented by our current Inbound student Conny Kleint, former Inbound student Rebekka Bottig (from Austria) and former Outbound student Javier Garcia who went to Taiwan.  They all did a great job and we should be proud of each and every one!
