2017 Breakfast in the Park

Our annual end of the year IB Breakfast in the Park was held April 28, 2017 at Largo Central Park. There was food, games, and even the Mayor of Largo stopped by to congratulate the senior class.

City of Largo Mayor Woody Brown congratulated the Senior Class of 2017

 and had time for a selfie!

Thank you to our parent volunteers who provided food and who worked the event. We couldn't do this without your help and support. Next year we are hoping to kick off the year with this event!
