+ Future Business Leaders raise funds for breast cancer
The Future Business Leaders of America club at Flagler Palm Coast High School is starting its breast-cancer awareness campaign.
Funds raised will go to the Florida Hospital Flagler Foundation, to help Flagler County residents.
To kick off its campaign, the club will be selling Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, bracelets and tie-dyed T-shirts during the FPC homecoming game, 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, when the Bulldogs host the Spruce Creek Hawks.
During the week of Oct. 10, there will be various events planned to raise awareness and funds. To help the FBLA students support breast-cancer awareness, email [email protected].
+ FPC student named to All-State Sightreading Choir
Flagler Palm Coast High School student Bryan Robinson was chosen to be a member of the Florida All-State Sightreading Choir.
Robinson read 34 out of 40 measures correctly for two teachers, to make the cut.
Only 100 students are chosen for this choir statewide.
+ Imagine School hopes to increase math gains by 9%
The Imagine School at the Town Center recently presented its plan for improvement to the Flagler County School Board, at a public meeting. Topping the plan were goals to increase learning gains in mathematics and reading by 9% and 5%, respectively.
“They do so many things at that school,” said Dolores Gonzalez, grandmother to an Imagine School student. “(They) teach to the entire child … It’s everything I could have wanted.”
Gonzalas, who served on a New Jersey school board before working in the Flagler County school system for nearly a decade, also pointed out that Imagine has been using a bucket-based positivity initiative in its facility for more than a year (see www.PalmCoast Observer.com to read about Rymfire’s incorporation of a bucket plan).
“It’s a really terrific behavior-modification program for the children,” she said.
From 65% of Imagine School’s student population making learning gains in the FCAT reading exam last year, the school hopes to increase that figure to 73%.
In math, it hopes to increase its gains from 56% of the population to 65% (ninth grade scores are excluded from these projections; they will not be available in 2012).
