COUNCIL UPDATE

BY LESLIE BOWE
Vice Mayor

This year's return to school is not like last year's.

In Pinecrest, we are fortunate to have the best private and public schools. Palmetto and Pinecrest Elementary schools are among only a select few to have repeated the FCAT with a grade of A.

That is certainly an accomplishment that the administration, staff, parents and students of these schools should take pride in.

Scoring high in the FCAT is largely due to the increased number of parents and community members taking more active roles on school campuses.

At home, education is supported, nurtured and valued. And, today we have more public awareness about the importance of parent, employer and community involvement in children's education.

VILLAGE PARK UPDATES
Suniland - Just in time for the fall Optimist Football Season, the annex has been completed with plenty of parking. Everyone is encouraged to utilize the additional parking lot to help maintain public safety while enjoying the park.

Coral Pine - Proposals are currently being reviewed for the selection of a tennis pro to enhance and increase programs for the community.

Pinecrest - Grand Opening looks to be in early November. Prepare to celebrate our new recreational gem.

Wayside - In the October election, residents will decide on a land swap with the county that would exchange this two-acre park ­ where the Village municipal center would be built -- for two acres on SW 104 Street, which would become a passive park.
