Commissioner McCray, January 29h, 2020
Poinciana Elementary STEM School, the city's premier educational institution for our
community's children, is in need of community support for our Safety Patrol Program. As you
know thousands of community leaders and residents received their earliest education right here in
the heart of downtown Boynton Beach. Poinciana is an exceptional school and one of the few
public elementary schools in the nation to have a planetarium and we want to keep it that way by
helping to provide each student with the necessary experiences to reach their full potential.
Our Fifth Grade Safety Patrols at Poinciana Elementary School need your financial assistance.
We are asking for donations from area businesses and individuals, like you, to help earn the
needed funds to travel to Washington, D.C.
The focus of the Poinciana Safety Patrol Program is to help protect children from accidents on
campus, to help children develop sound, safe habits while at school, and foster qualities of
leadership and good citizenship. The annual trip to Washington, D.C. will be an opportunity to
experience a part of what makes the United States a unique and great country in which to live.
Touring the Capital is an important way to introduce the youth to the workings of our
government, both past and present.
The opportunity to travel to Washington is a part of the privilege these students have earned for
being chosen to participate in the Safety Patrol program for the entire school year. These students
work hard to keep up good grades, good attitudes and good attendance to earn and keep their
position on the Safety Patrol.
We have 45 Safety Patrols traveling to Washington, D.C. this May. Many of those Safety Patrols
are on the reduced or free lunch program provided to students with financial difficulties. Our
time is limited, and we are working hard to raise money to help lessen the financial burden of this
exciting and worthwhile trip.
I was lucky enough to be present at the Scientist and Mathematician Breakfast at Poinciana this
morning and was able to hear you speak with fondness of being a Poinciana Panda. I am hoping
you would consider making a donation to the Safety Patrol program. If you decide to donate to
this worthy cause, please make your check payable to: Poinciana Elementary Safety Patrols.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter
Sincerely,
April A. Nobles
Poinciana Elementary Media Specialist and Safety Patrol sponsor
