It is with the deepest gratitude to the Scarpitti Foundation that we announce every student in our district received a brand new pair of running shoes today!
Students were fitted for new running shoes in September and received their gifts this morning. The foundation is dedicated to helping children and young adults through education and sports, and the shoes were given to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Carl Scarpitti’s passing in 1995.
The Carl and Josie Scarpitti Foundation was established by the Scarpitti family in memory of its
namesake and longtime owner of “Carl’s Shu Renewery” in downtown Sebring. Mrs. Scarpitti's
name was added to the foundation after her passing in 2017. As the parents of eight children,
they were staunch supporters of Sebring schools, sports teams, and the broader community.
Our district and our students are grateful for The Scarpitti Foundation's kindness and generous care they provided to our kids.
