💗🎀 Today, we wore pink for our principal! 🎀💗
Students and staff at Central Elementary came together in a sea of pink clothes, ribbons, and even cat ear headbands to celebrate Principal Appreciation Day and honor our amazing leader, Mrs. Cynthia Kubit — a proud Panther through and through!
Mrs. Kubit once walked these very halls as a student, and for the past six years, she’s returned to lead with heart, wisdom, and strength. From being called kind, fair, tall, and smart by our students to being deeply admired by our staff, she is truly beloved.
Thank you, Mrs. Kubit, for all you do for our students, our school, and our entire Panther family. 💗🐾 Enjoy your special day — you deserve it!

A huge thank you to Deputy Medina for stepping in and covering for our beloved Deputy Crawford while he was in class yesterday! 🩶🐾 The students had an absolute blast with you, and we loved having you as an honorary Panther—even if it was just for a few hours!
Special thanks to the Okeechobee Sheriff's Office and all of our amazing School Resource Deputies for keeping our schools safe every single day. We are so lucky to have you! ❤️👮♂️ #PantherPride #ThankYouDeputyMedina #OkeechobeeStrong #SchoolSafety #CentralElementary
