Doing the Math: At Cce'S Annual Spring Dinner, 30 Years Equals 1 Million Dollars


credit:

When does 30 equal a million? When it's the Spring Dance marking the Center for Creative Education's 30th anniversary, the Palm Beach Post reports.

The dinner dance took place March 4 at Club Colette, and the night raised more than $1 million, including a sizable donation from the honorary chairman's Park Foundation.

Patrick and Milly Park were honorary chairman and honorary chairwoman.

The night also celebrated the success of the newly launched Foundations School, CCE's K-5 independent school focused on improving literacy and weaving the arts into academic subjects.

Robert Hamon, president and CEO of CCE, offered an update on the school's mission.

"Our goal is to reach out to the families of those students who are not being successful today in a traditional public-school environment," Hamon said.

"We have designed a school where we challenge the norms and test new and innovative approaches to both teaching and learning."

The very definition of equity in education is that we provide each student with what they need individually to be successful.

I believe that every student deserves the same quality of education that we all want for our children and grandchildren," Park said.
