Congratulations to Wachovia Bank and The Miami Herald's Parent of the Month for January, AgES Booster Organization president Betsy Sullivan Sharp. Mrs. Sharp is dedicated to Coral Reef High School and has two children attending. In addition, she also serves as president of the FFA Alumni Board volunteering many hours a week. She initiates and organizes activities involving fund raising to support the numerous student competitions both in Miami and at districts, state and nationals. On weekend fieldtrips, Mrs. Sharp is on call 24 hours/day. She works closely with academy teachers on "wish lists." As a scout leader, Betsy Sharp is a community activist for children. She is organized, committed to public school education and for the past four years has been enthusiastic in helping The Reef maintain its #1 status. Her positive spirit, her sincerity and her willingness to share are contagious and bring an enlightening power to both AgEs and FFA parent organizations.

Kudos to the Visual & Performing Arts Academy and International Baccalaureate Academy Tech Crew members who helped produce an outstanding Black History Show under the tutelage of drama coach Ana Mederos: Jamie M. Wheeler, Thomas J. Badey, Lisa V. Coleman, Andrea C. Ferrer, Paulina Garcia, Panayotis Stavrinos, Vincent N. Solomon and Yasmin N. Chebbi.

The Reef welcomes Jeanne Harper to CAP and notices that her office is already filled with seniors and juniors "taking care of business."
