The Florida Lottery Takes Education Further
Since the Florida Lottery’s establishment in 1988, we have given players the oppor- tunity to transform their lives, and we have been steadfast in pursuit of improving educa- tion statewide, year after year.
Over the past 30 years, the Florida Lottery has remained committed to enhancing pub- lic education in Florida. Throughout that time, we have contributed more than $34 billion to public schools, universities and colleges, and directly to students through
On Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 3 p. m., East Tampa’s Middleton High School will pay tribute to a former teacher who students from the origi- nal campus are not likely to ever forget – Dr. (Miss) Frankye A. Berry.
The school will hold a re- ception in her honor in the Dr. Frankye A. Berry Media Cen- ter on the second floor of the administration building, 4802 N. 22nd Street. Middleton Principal Dr. Kim Moore
the Bright Futures Scholar- ship Program.
The Bright Futures Schol- arship Program, which is pri- marily funded by the Florida Lottery, was created in 1997 by the Florida Legislature to assist students in pursuing postsecondary educational ca- reer goals. Since the pro- gram’s inception, we have contributed more than $5 bil- lion to send over 800,000 students to college.
The Florida Lottery is proud to be a dedicated and
dependable funding source for public education, con- tributing more than $1 billion annually for the past 16 con- secutive years, while remain- ing one of the most efficient lotteries in the country.
We thank you for helping us reach these incredible milestones, as a portion of every ticket purchased goes towards education. We hope that the benefits of our contri- butions continue to be felt in communities across the entire state.

and the school’s alumni asso- ciation invite Tiger alumni and the public to attend the free event.
“We have waited for this day since 2002, when the new campus opened,” said Fred Hearns, a student in Dr. Berry’s 11th grade English class who graduated in 1966.
Hearns and the Middle- ton High School Alumni Asso- ciation led the effort to have the media center at Middleton named for her. “Everyone who sat foot on that campus from 1934 to 1971 has a memory of Dr. Berry they can share,” Hearns said. “She set the ex- ample for excellence in every- thing she did. Her students behaved – you didn’t have a choice. You paid attention in class, did your work, learned how to speak and write the ‘King’s English’, respected her, other students and teachers and represented our school well in the community.”
Hearns said the Hillsbor- ough County School Board, Superintendent Jeff Eakins, Chief of Schools Harrison Peters and for- mer Superintendent, Dr. Earl Lennard deserve spe- cial recognition for supporting the recognition of Dr. Berry.
Her goddaughter, Brenda Watkins Williams (Middle- ton High School Class of 1966), will travel to Tampa from her home in Ft. Laud- erdale to attend the cere- monies. Luvator Nelson (Class of 1966) is president of the alumni association.
