South Florida Fashion Academy’s Founder Celebrates 1st School Quarter of 2026 With Letter to Students & Parents

At South Florida Fashion Academy (SF/FA) and Innovative Heights Preparatory Academy (IHPA), we’re excited to kick-off 2026 with an amazing first quarter of milestones, events and messages! Our team of educators, staff, students and supporters are continuing to make a positive impact in the South Florida community while striving for greatness.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

As we step into the month of February, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead. A new year and new quarter gives us the opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come while setting bold intentions and goals for where we’re going next. Our students continue to inspire us with their creativity, resilience, and drive, all of which would not be possible without the strong partnerships we share with our families. Your involvement truly matters. When parents stay engaged, support learning at home, and participate in school activities, out students thrive. We are especially excited about the many fun field trips, hands-on learning experiences, and in-person, special events planned for the coming months in 2026. Our team believes that learning can equally take place in and outside of the classroom with real-world, hands-on, practical learning experiences. Often times, learning outside of the classroom is where many students ultimately learn important lessons and become their best selves. At SF/FA and IHPA, we have mastered these practical learning experiences and concepts and will continue to foster personalized learning.

To our dedicated parents, I want to thank you for centering education, scheduling conferences, communicating with our teachers, and showing up consistently for your child(ren). We encourage you to stay involved by volunteering when possible, attending family meetings and events, and responding to RSVP’s and school communications as the year continues. Your presence and collaborative support help us continue to build a strong, supportive, and impactful learning community. Together, we will continue to make an impact while striving for greatness. Thank you for your trust, commitment, and continued support. If you have any questions or inquiries, feel free to email me any time at Info@southfloridafashionacademy.com.
