The last quarter of the 2018 \u2013 2019 school year was jam-packed from family engagement nights to 8th grade graduation! Here is a brief overview of events from April and May 2019.<\/p>\n

More than 90 fourth and fifth grade students competed in a cooking challenge over two days, showing off their skills. To participate, students had to read the book Lights, Camera, Cook! It was a Sunshine State Reader book for 2018-19.<\/p>\n

Palm Pointe celebrated our 8th graders at our annual graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n
