Congratulations to Loggers Run Middle School’s Julie Gates, who was named Social Studies teacher of the year for the State of Florida. See the press release from the Palm Beach County School District.
West Boca News is happy to say we’ve met Ms. Gates and were impressed with her. We hear good things from kids at the school, and their parents too.

West Boca High Culinary: Food Truck Competition
Yesterday West Boca High’s Culinary Academy had a competition to create food truck displays. Six students competed.
–Update– Photos of the 1st and 2nd place winners at bottom —
We do not have the full results yet, but the third-place winner was sophomore Miah Shefer, whose display was made up of a sheet cake, icing, fondant and rice crispies. It was 100% edible (and possibly delicious). Last year as a Freshman Ms. Shefer took 2nd place in a cake competition.
Here’s a close-up of the Shefer entry and a shot of her at work:
West Boca News would love to feature additional information from this event, including pictures. Please send to me at [email protected].
Similarly, we’d love to hear about other events. Keep ’em coming!
And here are the photos of the 1st and 2nd place winning items (we don’t have their names yet):
Monday: Schools closed in Palm Beach County
Schools will be closed Monday in West Boca and the rest of Palm Beach County. The school board made the decision at roughly 1 am due to worsening storm conditions.
At this writing we are hearing heavy rain and high winds outside, just a couple hours before school buses will start picking up students. Looks like a good decision. But maybe a little late? Expect a few complaints.
