Overheard at the Feb. 7 Gulfport City Council Meeting

About the Sunflower School

“Sunflower School is having a fundraiser spring fest. It is in the Presbyterian church and has been there for 50 years, started by Eckerd College students. The church decided to close their doors and sold the building to the school, which is terrific, at a price they could afford. They’ve already raised half the money for it so they’re excited about that. They’re going to have a spring fest March 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the school, and they would love for everybody to come out and support them. They have lots of things going on there that day..” – Vice Mayor Christine

Brown
