In honor of National Teacher Appreciation Week, Miami Beach Senior High PTSA hosted a Spa Day in the teacher's lounge on May 22.  Teachers were able to choose from many services donated by local merchants, including hair dos by Blow Dry Bar, massages by Miami Beach Family & Sports Chiropractic Center & Kogut Chiropractic, manicures by Sean Donaldson, waxing by Unikwax and makeup by Bobbi Brown.  Teachers also received door prizes from Blow Dry Bar, Unikwax, Massage Envy Spa and Sean Donaldson.  Jack and Orit Osman provided the plant scenery, while lunch was provided by Publix and dessert from Pinkberry. Thanks to co-chairs for PTSA Teacher Appreciation Annette Cannon & Hillary Frankel for putting this amazing day together.

A Celebration of Debate

On behalf of the parents, we want to thank Russ Rywell for a wonderful presentation at the third annual end-of-the-year Speech and Debate celebration on May 28, which concluded an incredible year. Mr. Rywell, you made each and every one of those students there feel that their efforts to support the team were important and valued.  You also made the seniors feel proud to have participated on the team for the past few years.  We completely agree with your sentiments that the seniors' experience made a difference in their high school experience. Mostly, you reminded us of your extreme dedication to Speech and Debate. For this, we are extremely grateful.

We were also very excited to learn tonight that you will be teaching five debate classes next year, along with economics.  Kudos to the administration for recognizing your value at Beach High. And parents, we need to step up to the plate next year to support this, now more than ever. You are all officially invited to join the tournament and debate dinner committees.

We also want to thank the Kauffmans for opening their beautiful home and bay view for this event, and all the parents who brought great food.
