Everglades High Set for Sports

Everglades High

A new stadium at Everglades High School will soon be a reality. A groundbreaking ceremony was held to mark the official start of construction on the 4,000-seat facility. Officials from the Eastern Financial Florida Credit Union were on hand to formally contribute $500,000 toward the stadium. In light of the generous donation, the new facility will be named the Eastern Financial Florida Stadium at Everglades High. The stadium and field will have space for football and soccer and will feature a nine-lane rubber track for regional athletic meets. School Board members Beverly A. Gallagher and Marty Rubinstein and South Area Superintendent Sam Gregg were joined by Miramar Mayor Lori Mosley and other honored guests for the groundbreaking.

Cab Tips can help!
A new TIPS Conference has been created to assist you in fully utilizing the capabilities available to you in the CAB E-mail system.
CAB TIPS are created using the most commonly asked questions and issues presented to the CAB Q&A Conference. Once the TIP is created, it is available in the "TIPS Conference" located in the CAB Q&A conference. You will find tips to help you learn:
• Effective organization of your mailbox
• Simple steps to schedule meetings and tasks
• How to organize your address book
• How to customize your toolbar

The TIPS conference is not a replacement for training, but rather a supplement. If you would like to submit a TIP to this valuable resource, the TIPS Review Team will review it for content, quality of presentation and utility. If it meets the criteria, it will be made available to the District. Please direct your suggestions and TIPS to the CAB TIPS Suggestions Conference. (You can enter CAB TIPS in the "To" line of your message to locate this conference.)
