The start of a new school year can be very stressful for any student, and even more so for our BFF students. We held a back to school event to ease some of that anxiety and to welcome in the new school year.
This year’s party had a magical theme, and our BFF team worked their magic preparing a wonderful event for the kids. They enjoyed an afternoon filled with an incredible magic show by James Changefield, face painting by Kaite Cardet, bingo, various fun activities, a lunch, and delicious cupcakes for dessert. A big thank you to our BFF bakers who made sweet treats for all the kids; they loved it all!
We would like to thank Palm Beach State College Boca Raton campus Provost and BFF board member Van Williams for hosting the event and volunteering along with BFF board members Frank Barbieri and Dan Davidowitz. We would also like to thank all the volunteers who planned, organized, and set the event up. A special thank you to Crystal Photography for taking such wonderful pictures at the event and incredible portraits of our kids, which we will print and share with them.
One of the highlights of the party is when our students get to go “shopping” at our annual BFF marketplace, an opportunity for them to pick out their own school supplies, clothing, accessories, and more. They leave with their bags overflowing and ready to start the year with their Best Foot Forward!
