Dear Readers,

Hello Spring! The weather is fantastic, and events are in abundance, so get out to the parks and the venues with your family and friends and make some wonderful memories together. Remember, time is our most precious asset, we should all spend it pursuing activities that bring us joy.

Deciding on which Spring and Summer Camp your child will attend may seem far off, however, now is the time to start planning. We are featuring the best that Coral Springs & Parkland has to offer in this issue and the next. Camps are an excellent way for your kids to expand their social circles while finding new areas of interest and fun. From the arts and sports camps to the educational and activities camps, there is a fun and affordable option for every child to enjoy. Don’t risk losing a spot, enroll now!

Many families have made this area home because they understand that Coral Springs and Parkland have some of the best schools in the state of Florida. Our schools offer not only innovative academic programs such as robotics, debate and business classes, but competitive arts and performing opportunities as well. Please read the school articles to see all the wonderful programs, competitions and community service projects our schools and students are involved in. We have some of the most dedicated teachers, staff and principals around and we are grateful for all of their hard work. Our publication is all about our cities and the people who live in them. We want to hear about your children’s awards and achievements. We would love to receive pictures of their athletic and artistic endeavors. Send them to cspdirectory1@gmail.com. I wish you a wonderful spring and look forward to seeing you at the fields, parks, and everywhere else around Coral Springs & Parkland.

My best to you,

Kim Kadel Publisher

Dear Parkland Residents,

As we settle into the new year, let’s reflect on how 2023 can be a vehicle for new beginnings, new commitments, and new opportunities. We often talk about committing to change and the myriad of opportunities available for New Year’s resolutions. Perhaps we want to become more physically active, dedicate ourselves to more community service, commit to becoming a more supportive spouse/partner, or enrich our work/life balance. We may even want to embrace a more patient outlook and approach to the daily routine of our lives. As mundane as they may sometimes seem, we must realize that our routines are something many others would love to have.

Our sense of community is integral to our wellbeing and abilities to thrive. With the support of family and friends, we can build goals and build community. It is important for us to strive to lift one another up and support our loved ones and our neighbors to help each other achieve goals that are important to them in 2023.

This month marks the five-year anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy. The families of the victims have shown our community their tremendous strength and how a horrible tragedy can lead to inspiring collaborative achievements.

Tremendous organizations and foundations have been created to memorialize the 17 victims of this tragedy. These organizations have awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants. They have effectuated positive changes on the federal, state, and local levels regarding laws and policies that will ensure safety for us all—in the hopes that a similar horrific event is not repeated.

Let us use their strength as an example of how we can all support one another and be stronger together. Far too often we ‘sweat the small stuff’ or take the simple things for granted. When, in reality, our daily life is a gift that so many would embrace.

As Mayor, I have the honor of serving on the board of the Parkland 17 Memorial Foundation. The foundation is tasked with developing a memorial to honor those who were taken from us much too soon. The foundation board consists of one elected official from Parkland, one from Coral Springs, a resident from each City, a representative from the victims’ families, an Ad Hoc member, and is chaired by Mike Moser our Deputy Fire Chief. This 501(c)3 organization had been working towards this goal for several years and the Parkland 17 Memorial Foundation has finally secured land for the project which is situated between both Coral Springs and Parkland.

We have put out a call for artists to secure a reputable entity to create a unique, appropriate memorial and to help develop this site. The goal is to create a place for our community to go and reflect, heal, and, above all, remember the 17. For more information on this organization, please visit www.parkland17.org.

On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, at the Amphitheatre at Pine Trails Park, we will hold the five-year Commemoration event to honor and remember the 17 victims. We hope the entire Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School community will join us. We know the tragedy that took place here extends well beyond Parkland and we want everyone to know they are welcome. Every year this event provides a humbling reminder of those that were taken and how our community comes together to honor them and comfort one another.

If you would like to share your thoughts on the memorial committee, the Commemoration event, or if you have questions or comments you would like to share, I would love to hear from you. I can be reached via e-mail at rwalker@cityofparkland. org or via cell phone at (973) 390-1453. Of course, I am frequently available monthly at Parkland businesses and love to talk with residents there. I encourage you to visit the City’s website cityofparkland.org and click on the social media icon that you prefer, to ensure that you stay informed on events and helpful information.

Your

Parkland Mayor, Rich Walker

Dear Coral Springs Citizens and Businesses,

Our City is turning 60 years old this year and we invite you to all of our celebrations! I hope you enjoy living in a masterplanned community as much as I do! Please check our website at www.coralsprings.gov/events.

I want to thank those of you that celebrated the holidays with us and enjoy our numerous City events on a regular basis. While the City has so many assets from our employees to our parks, from our schools to our restaurants, I believe our citizens are one of our greatest assets!

Our citizens volunteer a lot, share important information with our Police and Code Enforcement Departments and often share gratitude for the city in which they live. On behalf of our city, thank you! If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, please look at our website.

One of the greatest aspects of our city include multiple non- profits and charities that call Coral Springs home, including the Coral Springs/Coconut Creek Chamber of commerce, the Soref Jewish Community Center and Eagles Haven. Thank you to every non-profit and 501c3 that contribute so much to our community.

If you ever want to meet with me, call (954) 344-5906 to make an appointment. I also welcome hearing from you by email at Sbrook@coralsprings.gov. Feel free to reach me directly on my cell as well at (954) 494-9872.

Thank you Kim Kadel and your publication for allowing me this opportunity to connect with our residents!

Your Friendly Mayor,

Scott J. Brook Mayor of Coral Springs
