Good Day Flamingo Family,

Our year is passing quickly, but it has

been jam packed with wonderful events and opportunities

for our students. Our Batty Bash event was a HUGE success,

with close to 1,000 visitors enjoying this after-hours

Halloween themed event. Due to the huge turnout, we are

already planning for next year to make it even bigger and

better. For the second year in a row, Flamingo Elementary

was adopted by Suburu of Pembroke Pines, where tens of

thousands of dollars in school supplies were donated to our

classrooms.

Our gardening club, under the direction of Ms.

Morin and Ms. Balanoff is off to a great start. Our school was

awarded approximately $100,000 as a reward by the State of

Florida for achieving an "A" Grade by the Florida

Department of Education. Our Faculty and Staff voted to

give a portion of this money to our children to fund our

annual "A Plus Carnival" at the end of the school year, and

for next year since there will not be school grades this year.

Our Debate Team is up and running under the direction of

Ms. V. Rodriguez, and our Student Council representatives

and officers have been elected under the direction of Mr.

Wells.

As we move into the Thanksgiving Holiday Season, I want to

wish my Flamingo Family a very happy and healthy

Thanksgiving Holidays. On my long list of things that I am

thankful for, my Flamingo Family is on that list. I truly

appreciate the enormous support that you have shown for

my direction and vision for Flamingo Elementary. It has been

a joy serving our students and our community.

 Sincerely,

Philip Bullock - Principal
