Student battling cancer shows strong character in and out of school
Sendline Simplice is known for always having a smile on her face and being a leader on campus at Lantana Middle School despite what she faces outside of the classroom, which includes doctor visits and hospital stays as she fights brain cancer.
A spotlight on STEM
A robot named “Spot” showed students at Pahokee Middle-Senior High School the opportunities available in artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, STEM, and robotics. Special thanks to Levatas and the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County for the unique presentation.
Since September, the Thank a Teacher campaign has awarded 15 educators with a surprise celebration, a $100 prize from T-Mobile and Gold Coast Federal Credit Union, and a shoutout on social media. Check out the highlights so far this school year.
