Presentations at the Lake Worth City Commission meeting.

There were several presentations at the City Commission meeting last night and two in particular stood out: two young women, “teenpreneurs” from the recent Shark Tank at Barton Elementary School will give you much reason for hope about our City of Lake Worth. And if the schools in our City are of interest to you, then you have to listen closely to what Erica Whitfield had to say. Below is more information about that and use this link to watch the videos.

Unfortunately, we also learned last night during the presentation given by PBSO Cpt. Baer the golf tournament to support at risk children and help stop gang recruitment here in the City will be held at the Westchester Golf & Country Club in suburban Boynton Beach in September.

Last year this event by PBSO was held at the country club in the Great Walled City of Atlantis. PBSO is once again soliciting donations from our businesses here in Lake Worth and some have already donated. Mayor Pam Triolo said to Baer, “We need to talk.”

Enough said about that other than to note our City has its own municipal golf course.

School board member and City of Lake Worth resident Erica Whitfield gave her presentation to the Lake Worth City Commission last night on the status of our City schools. Just a short time afterward Whitfield was already “Breaking News” in The Palm Beach Post, directing readers to check back today for the full story. Why?

Because Whitfield “hit it out of the park”. Again.

A lot has changed since Whitfield’s last presentation about our schools here in the City of Lake Worth. One big change is the administrators in the school district know where our City is now. That helps. Whitfield gave a lot of credit to Superintendent Robert Avossa and maybe Post reporter Andrew Marra will take note of that in an article some time soon and mention School Board member Erica Whitfield by name.

Meet District 4 School Board member Erica Whitfield.

Check back later today for the video and more news from the City Commission last night. Whitfield also introduced the new principal at Lake Worth High School, Dr. Epps. In one word: Inspirational. Stay tuned.
