The PREP & Lower School Student Council went Christmas caroling throughout the Imperial Point and Pompano Beach area. They visited the Savoy at Fort Lauderdale Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, passed out Christmas coloring pages, and then sang several Christmas songs. The students then visited several homes and finished the evening at the highly decorated and famous Macek Family Christmas Lights in Pompano Beach. The Upper School Student Councils, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Broward, held a Christmas Toy Drive. Through your generosity, student council members and additional student volunteers were able to distribute presents to 60 families in the Rick...
