Bezos Academy, District to Deliver Montessori-inspired Education

BEZOS ACADEMY SIGNED an agreement with the School District of Palm Beach County in August to bring a new tuition-free, Montessori-inspired preschool to Roosevelt Elementary School in West Palm Beach.

Designed to support low-income families, the preschool will off programming for 100 students at no cost to the District or the families being served. The approval is the result of collaborative efforts between the District, the City of West Palm Beach, and Frisbie Group, a private real estate investment firm based in Palm Beach. Ensuring a quality education brings a measurable improvement to the community, said Dave Frisbie, co-founder of Frisbie Group.

“As a former classroom teacher, I have seen the extraordinary gains children make when they have quality, project-based, hands-on learning experiences,” added Nancy Bourne of the Frisbie Group. “The heart of the Bezos Academy program sparks curiosity and creativity, which in turn grows passionate learners who will advance and enhance the future of our community.”

Noted Mike George, President of Bezos Academy, “Thanks to the e the School District of Palm Beach County, the City of West Palm Beach, and the Frisbie Group, families of West Palm Beach will have access to the incredible benefits that high-quality preschool can provide, at no cost to them or their community.”

NYC Billboards Boast

THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD of Palm Beach County late last month caused a stir above the streets of New York City. Three billboards boasted “Wall Street South”— the name we’ve earned as the favored destination for nancial firms with roots in New York.

Located at 43rd Rotunda, Times Square Tower, and the iconic I Love NY Board, the billboards feature the message alongside an inviting beach scene. The call-toaction urges businesses to establish offices in Palm Beach County, as more than firms have done since 2019.

With Palm Beach County owning “Wall Street South,” there is no better place to proclaim this message than within the home of Wall Street itself.
