Principal’s Message

As I begin my sixth year as Principal of Boggy Creek Elementary and my 24th year in education, I am filled with gratitude for the many students, families, and educators who have shaped my journey. Each day, I remind myself:

“I get to serve YOU.” This is not just a statement—it’s a privilege and a purpose.

Boggy Creek is a remarkable community, and I am deeply committed to ensuring that every student receives the high-quality education they deserve. This work is not done alone—it takes all of us. I ask for your continued support in helping us maintain a safe, nurturing, and academically enriching environment for our students and staff.

Thank you for following our safety protocols. Your cooperation is essential and deeply appreciated.

Strong communication between school and home is key to our success. Let’s continue working together to improve our practices and support our students in every way possible.

Boggy Creek is a very good school—and together, we are on a journey to become a GREAT school.

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” — Robert Collier

I believe in our students. I believe in our staff. And I believe in the power of our community.

We do hard things at BOGGY—and we do them together.

Thank you for ensuring your children arrive at school each day, ready and on time to learn and grow.

With appreciation,

Yara Tavarez-De La Fuentes

Proud Principal, Boggy Creek Elementary School

Al comenzar mi sexto año como directora de la Escuela Primaria Boggy Creek y mi vigésimo cuarto año en el ámbito educativo, me siento profundamente agradecida por los numerosos estudiantes, familias y educadores que han forjado mi trayectoria. Cada día me recuerdo:

"Tengo la oportunidad de servirte". Esto no es solo una afirmación, es un privilegio y un propósito.

Boggy Creek es una comunidad extraordinaria y estoy profundamente comprometida a garantizar que cada estudiante reciba la educación de alta calidad que merece. Este trabajo no se hace solo; requiere de todos. Les pido de su continuo apoyo para ayudarnos a mantener un entorno seguro, acogedor y académicamente enriquecedor para nuestros estudiantes y personal.

Gracias por seguir nuestros protocolos de seguridad. Su cooperación es esencial y la agradezco profundamente.

Una comunicación sólida entre la escuela y el hogar es clave para nuestro éxito. Sigamos trabajando juntos para mejorar nuestras prácticas y apoyar a nuestros estudiantes en todo lo posible.

Boggy Creek es una escuela excelente y, juntos, estamos en camino a convertirnos en una GRAN escuela.

“El éxito es la suma de pequeños esfuerzos, repetidos día tras día.” - Robert Collier

Creo en nuestros estudiantes. Creo en nuestro personal. Y creo en el poder de nuestra comunidad.

En BOGGY, nos esforzamos por lograr cosas difíciles, y las hacemos juntos.

Gracias por asegurar que sus hijos lleguen a la escuela todos los días, listos y puntuales para aprender y crecer.

Con agradecimiento,

Testimonials

Staff Member

It's been an honor for me as a parent to have my two children here. My son is only in second grade, but I believe that the dual language program is very powerful to be here in this community, and not only because they can continue with the same language that they learn at home, but I don't want them to lose that language. Aside from Dual Language, the AVID program has assisted both of my children in organizing their thoughts and their writing and help them strive academically.

Student

I am a very gifted student, so they put me in the Dual Language class. When I first got here in pre-K, my first language was Spanish, so I did not know much English. Thanks to the Dual Language program, I would say my English is very good.

Parent

When we moved down here from Massachusetts, we weren't sure what the community was really going to look like. And my son has absolutely thrived coming to Boggy Creek and since transitioning to middle school. He's a straight-A student, and he's not afraid to advocate for himself, and that's one big thing here at Boggy Creek is that the students’ voices really matter.

Parents

My connection with Boggy Creek started a long time ago. I was a student here when we first moved to Kissimmee, so I started here in first grade and stayed through fifth grade. Now I get to see my boys go to school here and experience things and see how the school has grown in, you know, 25-plus years. It’s been really great to see all the opportunities that they get from coming to a school that’s as connected to the community as Boggy Creek is.

Student

Boggy Creek is like a family to me because they are there for me and they help me when I'm sad or anxious.

Student

That’s why I participate in drama club, so I can help myself learn those tactics and have better grades. I’m going to be going to Osceola County School for the Arts next year. It is a big jump from having two teachers to having seven, but Boggy Creek has prepared me for much in my future.

Teacher

To be a manatee means being able to collaborate and work as a team, both from the parents’ perspective and the teachers’ perspective. We hold each other accountable because we both want them to succeed and to further their education. That's why we instill the AVID mindset in our classrooms.
