Ranger Good Works and Young At Art Museum Partnership
Ranger Good Works and Young At Art Museum have a 9-year partnership and together, are a driving force for arts-based learning in Dillard Elementary and North Fork Elementary Schools.
Each year, new, theme-based learning programs that align with the Broward County School System are created through this partnership.
The art program, its management, oversight, development, preparation, delivery, and documentation are developed through the Young At Art Museum leadership team. The program is approved and funded by Ranger Good Works, including materials, costs, and field trips. The art program also includes a Year-End Art Exhibition and Showcase for parents and teachers.
Student school attendance is higher than before the program existed. School children love to use this opportunity to stimulate their intellectual and emotional needs in a fun and interactive environment.
This partnership continues to be a great success as students focus on different artistic methods. In the 2022 school year, students were inspired by the works of the world-famous artist Romero Britto, and each had the opportunity to create art based on their interpretation of his works.
Career City 2022 at DILLARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
WE – TOGETHER touched 1000 students’ lives on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at DILLARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Over 70 businesses and organizations came together with over 160 Volunteers to make the day a great success for our local Fort Lauderdale elementary schools we support. This year we included nearby North Fork Elementary 5th grade students to join in on the extra special Career City. In addition, this year, students from Boyd Anderson Nursing program, Dillard High Robotics Program- Sigmac@ts, and Parkway Middle School World Ensemble joined as participants, as well as students from the University of Miami and University of Mississippi helped show that step by step, grade by grade, success happens when you apply yourself and stay dedicated to learning.
Many thanks to Congresswoman Shelia Cherflius McCormick, Dr. Valarie Wanza, Chief Officer (Office of School Performance & Accountability), Debra Hixon, and Daniel P Foganholi School Board Members, Bobby Dubose – Former member of the Florida House of Representatives, Former Mayor of Broward County, Dale Holness, Past Fort Lauderdale Commissioner Romney Rogers and Zoie Saunders, Chief Education Officer for the City of Fort Lauderdale for spending extra time with 172 5th grade students from both Dillard and North Fork elementary schools!

Read for the record at Dillard Elementary October 2021
Read for the Record 2021 was a thrilling success, as we read Amy Wu and the Patchwork Dragon. It was Ranger Good Works’ first time back in the classroom to visit our students since the pandemic shutdown. Reading to children in school is always fulfilling. After we #readfortherecord, we created a colorful, 20-foot dragon with old scarves and danced around the classroom together. We then took our dragon for a walk out in the courtyard at Dillard Elementary for all to see. It was great fun! As a result of activities such as #readfortherecord, many students will find reading and literacy activities more enjoyable. Gifts of love last a lifetime, and the memories keep on giving.
Career City 2019
Ranger Good Works was proud to present Career City 2019 to all our students at Dillard Elementary. We want to thank all the companies and organizations that participated to make this another successful event for our students.
