SUPERINTENDENT’S CELEBRATIONS: THE TEAM PALM
BEACH WAY

Superintendent Burke orchestrated a series of spirited celebrations in the Fulton-Holland Educational
Services Center (FHESC), fostering a dynamic and enthusiastic atmosphere. These events go beyond
standard work interactions, building a strong sense of community and enhancing morale.

To kick off the academic year, the energetic BAck-to-School “PArty FridAy” event set a positive and celebra-
tory tone. This event, which highlighted the District’s A-rated achievement, provided a valuable opportunity
for staff to connect, relax, and prepare collaboratively for the term ahead. Similarly, the Superintendent’s
Annual Halloween Costume Contest transformed the FHESC into a vibrant celebration, infusing a signifi-
cant dose of playful creativity. This much-anticipated event encouraged enthusiastic participation from all
divisions, fostering a spirit of friendly competition and lighthearted fun. From elaborate group themes to
individual, handcrafted costumes, the contest showcased the staff’s diverse talents and imaginative spirit.
The ensuing laughter and shared experience of the juried costume parade strengthened cross-departmental
camaraderie, creating lasting memories and a more connected workplace.

Beyond seasonal festivities, the superintendent’s commitment to building a positive climate extended to
weekly football giveaways throughout the season, generating excitement and shared enthusiasm. The cul-
minating SUPERintendent’s Annual SUPER Bowl Kickoff Party allowed staff to gather and enjoy celebrating
Team Palm Beach.
