Center for Creative Education | Playground Ribbon Cutting
"I was honored to join the community at The Susan and Dom Telesco Center for Creative Education to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the new playground and outdoor learning space. Inspired by the creativity of the students at The Foundations School, this vibrant new area offers a safe and imaginative environment where children can build confidence, teamwork, and joy through play. This project reflects our City’s commitment to creating opportunities for every child by supporting education, creativity, and community growth. Together, we are investing in a brighter future for West Palm Beach’s children and families."
— Mayor Keith A. James

Tackling climate change and protecting the environment are primary goals for the Youth Climate Action Fund, which offers microgrants to young people to encourage them to find ways to reach those goals. Two of the recipients recently shared their projects with the public at the West Palm Beach GreenMarket.
