Barton Elementary Pre-K Student Show Their Support

Barton Elementary was selected as an Office Depot StartProud School in Palm Beach County. Thanks to the generous support of our Champions of Education, Office Depot, they delivered backpacks to all the students at Barton Elementary. Mrs. Soto-Perez’s VPK students are learning about friendships and emotions in our VPK curriculum, Connect 4 Learning, her talented VPK students drew compliment cards for pre-kindergarten students in Puerto Rico who were affected by Hurricane Fiona on September 18, 2022. They used the supplies donated by Office Depot in their backpacks to create the most amazing cards. Some of the comments heard in Mrs. Soto-Perez class while VPK students were creating their cards were: “Maestra, is this card for a boy or a girl?” “Maestra, are we going to visit the students?” “Maestra, I did a rainbow heart!” Mrs. Soto-Perez mailed the beautiful cards to the pre-kindergarten students at San Sebastian Bilingual School & Sport Center in Puerto Rico to the attention of Mrs. Vega, a Pre-K teacher. Her students were surprised and excited to receive the cards. Thanks to our amazing Champions of Education, Office Depot for all their support for the students at Barton Elementary.
