9 days ago by Michael Bussman๐ข "This is Why We LOVE RPA!" ๐ โ A Special Testimonial from Our Pre-K Team
At Royal Palm Academy, we cherish our youngest learners! Our Pre-K program is where the journey of Catholic education begins, filled with joy, faith, and a love for learning. In this heartfelt testimonial video, our incredible Pre-K teachers share why they LOVE RPA โ from nurturing young minds to building a strong foundation in faith and academics.
Supporting our Day of Giving means supporting these amazing Pre-K families and the exceptional educators who make it all possible. Unlike K-12 students, private school Pre-K families do not receive Florida School Choice scholarships, making tuition a significant hurdle for some. Thatโs why the Saint John Bosco Fund is essential—it ensures that more families can afford a Catholic education from Pre-K through 8th grade.
When you give today, you are making a lasting impact on our youngest students and their future at RPA. Letโs come together to support Catholic education and help every child grow in faith, knowledge, and character.
Give today and show your love for RPA! ๐ Leaderboard closes at 7:59 PM EST
