AVOCADO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PTA RAISES MONEY FOR COVERED WALKWAYS


December 17, 2003


The Avocado Elementary Parent Teacher Association (PTA) raised $28,275 for two covered walkways. It took over three years of vigorous fundraising to net the money. The walkways will bridge the front office to the parent drop off/pick up area and the main building to the bus drop off/pick up area. The school is located at 16969 S.W. 294 St., Homestead.

"We are thrilled with the additional funds for these much needed walkways," says Avocado's principal, Dr. Grace Nebb, "We've always had an active PTA. This wouldn't have been possible without the help of Jill Glisson, our former treasurer."

Acceptance of the funds is pending authorization from Miami-Dade County School Board.

For more information, contact Dr. Nebb at 305-247-4942.
