LAKE WALES – The Lake Wales High Senior Class and Weikert Ford invite local drivers to “Drive One 4 Ur School.”

The test drive event is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25. It will help raise money for the 2011 LWHS Graduation Ceremony at Bok Tower Gardens. Test drives will take place at Weikert Ford on Highway 27.

Ford and Weikert Ford will donate $20 for every individual who test drives any new Ford. Each test drive will last 7-10 minutes. Participants must be 18 or older, and have a valid driver’s license. Only one participant per household.

The Senior Class also will provide free car washes during the event, so participants can get their “old” cars washed while they are test-driving new Fords!

“Drive One 4 Ur School” is part of a nationwide event involving hundreds of Ford dealers. Local high schools are eligible to earn up to $6,000 through the test drives.

BABSON PARK – Dale R. Fair Babson Park Elementary Principal Ken Henson (left) and Assistant Principal Elizabeth Tyler (right) served as human “sundaes” recently so students and staff could celebrate the school’s “sweet success.” During a school-wide assembly Friday (Aug. 27), Henson and Tyler donned goggles and sat in a wading pool while students began working – grade by grade – to top the human sundaes with goodies ranging from chocolate syrup to sprinkles and cherries. When the administrators could no longer see through their goggles, teachers joined in the fun too!

Not only did the school earn an A from the state, but Babson Park was one of only 11 Polk schools to achieve AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) under the No Child Left Behind Act standards.

Haines City football game moves to Legion Field on Friday

LAKE WALES – Friday night’s Lake Wales – Haines City football game has been relocated to Lake Wales High’s Legion Field.

Haines City High’s stadium has new turf, which isn’t ready to safely accommodate high school athletes and four quarters of football. The grass needs more time to grow.

Instead, LWHS agreed to host the game at Legion Field, although Haines City will be considered the “home” team.

The game starts at 7 p.m. Friday (Sept. 3). All tickets sold will be $5 per person. No reserved seats will be sold.

“Since this is a Haines City home game, we will follow their pricing schedule,” said LWHS Principal Clark Berry.
