A Letter from the CEO & Board President

   The  2018-19 school year  will  be  filled  with growth and innovation. In August, we                2018-2019
                                                                                                        Board of Directors
   expanded  our  Elementary  Program to second grade! More children, teachers, and
   classrooms were essential to this transition. So, we  partnered with  the  Salvation
   Army and leased classroom space at their  West Broward Boulevard and Southwest                       President
   9th  Avenue  location.  Our  Elementary School will be housed there until our state-                 Pat Ramge
   of-the-art building is completed in the fall of 2020.
                                                                                                        Vice President
   Exciting changes are propelling both our Elementary and Early Education programs                     Tony Coley
   forward.  We  welcomed  Trevor Roberts  as our Director of Education this summer.
   His  experience  as  a  Principal  in  Broward County  brings  fresh ideas and unique                Secretary
   perspective to our program.                                                                          Steve Halmos

   As we begin our most ambitious fiscal year yet, we are so appreciative of all of our
   supporters  and partnerships. As the CEO of Jack & Jill Children’s Center, I, Heather                Treasurer
