Our College Workshop was a huge success! We are grateful to those who presented and shared valuable information with our students on essential career and life skills topics. Orlando R. Nieves from Florida Blue Center Palm Beach presented Health Insurance 101, the basics of health insurance, Bianca Perlet from Marci Ball Elordi, Esq. discussed details about car insurance, and Daniel Gwynn & Dennis Alvarez of MAFÉ Resources shared insights into finding the right career path and employment opportunities. Our students enjoyed a day filled with learning, engaging discussions and delicious breakfast and lunch. They asked many questions and walked away with a wealth of knowledge. Thank you to our speakers and everyone who participated! 🌟📚 #BFFkids #CareerSkills #LifeSkills #StudentSuccess

The BFF Summer Enrichment program has officially started! Our focus isn't just on preventing the "summer slide" but also on providing vital, consistent support for our students. We're kicking off with the book "Out of the Maze" — the sequel to one of our favorite books, "Who Moved My Cheese?" Each student received their very own copy of the book and materials for weekly projects inspired by their reading. By the end of the program, our students will have created a few wonderful projects including vision boards, to set the stage for an exciting journey of discovery and self-growth. It’s going to be an unforgettable summer! #BFFKids #BFFSummerEnrichment
