The beauty of Bok Tower Gardens will reinforce Bok Academy’s commitment to teaching about beauty and harmony and the importance of these values. Teaching students to appreciate how beauty permeates the natural world and how attention to aesthetics, beauty, and harmony can transform lives and communities. It is our hope that this educational opportunity will help create young leaders who have a deeper understanding about the structure of knowledge and a deeper desire to live a life of merit.
Bok Academy will offer an educational opportunity that exemplifies and honors the life of this philanthropist, who in the 1920’s created a sanctuary: a place of beauty, serenity, and peace in Lake Wales. We will teach the student what it means to live by the Bok family legacy: “Make the world a bit better and more beautiful for having lived in it.”
LAKE WALES – Janie Howard Wilson Elementary students earned the right to take part in Splash Day on Sept. 3 as part of the school’s new Positive Behavior Support program. More than 500 students earned tickets to the first monthly celebration, which included a Splash Zone provided by Lake Wales Firefighters.
LAKE WALES – Learning to read is tough, especially when you are only 5 years old. To help her new kindergarten students get excited, Polk Avenue Elementary teacher Amy Alvarado provided a little motivation – two new bikes.
