2012-13 Applications Now Available

Thu, 11/17/2011 - 16:01
Applications for the 2012-13 school year are now available from the school!
 
We feel it is important that parents make the most educated decision they can for their child’s education. We believe it is important that all families who are considering applying for our school take the time to visit us either during our open house (scheduled for January 10) or to come in for an individualized tour. As such, we have decided not to post our application to our website, but will be happy to provide you with a copy when you come in to visit. To schedule a tour, please call (727) 536-3600.
 
Applications will be accepted through March 30. At that time, we will ensure everything is entered into our system, and we will hold a lottery for student selection on April 4. This lottery is based on random selection providing all students an equal chance of being selected. After the lottery parents will be notified by phone, email and the US postal service of their status for the 2012-13 school year. If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to contact our office.

PTEG Auction Wrap-Up

Fri, 12/16/2011 - 23:27

 

Wow, 11/11/11 was not only a memorable calendar date, but was also a memorable, fun evening for all who attended PTEG's first annual auction benefiting PPA & PPA jr.  We raised a total of $10,865.02!
 
The event was held at the beautiful Gus Stavros Center in Largo. The air was full of fun, laughter and competetive bidding on wonderful baskets donated by each classroom. There were also special auction items donated by teachers and administration that offered a once in a lifetime opportunities for students and parents alike. Our auctioneers for the evening were Mr. Fuller, Mr. Ramsdell and Mrs. Walker, who really got the crowd going.
Dinner & Coffee were fabulous and were donated by PTEG, Winghouse & Little Italy Pizza Restaurant. Desserts were donated by one of our parents Lisa Smajovits and the beautiful decorations were created by another parent Heather Boterf.
 
I heard so many great comments from that evening and plenty of, "we can't wait until next year"!
I want to thank all of the volunteers who stepped up that evening. Without each of you, this night would not have been such a success.
 
Until next year...
