The application window for Palm Beach County’s 2027–28 Choice and Career programs is open, with a final deadline of Friday, December 4, 2026.

All Choice and Career Academy programs require an application and use a district lottery process, so submitting does not guarantee a seat.

Applicants must have a Palm Beach County student identification number.

Families whose child does not already have one may request an ID through the application portal through December 4, with all required documentation included.

Wellington Community High School lists Equine/Pre-Veterinary, Fine Arts, Fire Science and Marketing among its Choice programs.

The district’s open-house calendar also lists Polo Park Middle on October 27 from 6 to 7 p.m. and Wellington Landings Middle on October 29 from 6 to 7 p.m.

Recheck the official calendar and contact the school before attending.

Most school tours are available by appointment only.

Families should compare curriculum, location, transportation expectations and any academic or audition requirements before submitting.

Programs requiring auditions will communicate those details after the deadline, and applicants should monitor both the portal and email for updates.

The district’s Choice Department can be reached at 561-434-8755 or choice@palmbeachschools.org.

Starting early leaves time to resolve missing documents and make a thoughtful decision.

Wellington recycling starts with checking the collection schedule for your own address and separating materials before collection day.

The Village’s address lookup is a better guide than copying a nearby street’s routine.

Its Solid Waste and Recycling page says garbage, recycling and vegetation containers should be out by 7 a.m. on collection day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the previous evening.

Bulk trash may be set out 24 hours before its collection day.

Blue bins take listed containers such as cans, eligible cartons, glass bottles and jars, and qualifying plastics.

Yellow bins take paper and cardboard.

Check the detailed preparation rules, including the distinction between clean and food-stained pizza boxes.

Plastic bags and plastic eating utensils are not accepted in the curbside recycling list.

Flatten appropriate delivery boxes, and review bulk guidance before leaving oversized items outside.

For a garage cleanout, separate donations, ordinary disposal and materials requiring special handling before moving everything to the curb.

The Village directs questions about paints, electronics, batteries, used motor oil and propane cylinders to the Solid Waste Authority.

Report a missed collection through GoWellington with your address, collection type and timing.

Save the confirmation for follow-up.

Wellington Garden Club offers residents a way to learn about plants, meet neighbors and explore community projects without beginning with a perfect yard.

The club’s 2026–2027 calendar lists a November 2 program by Dr. Kimberly Moore about controlling garden invasives, including iguanas.

Meetings take place at the Wellington Community Center, 12150 Forest Hill Boulevard.

The published schedule begins with a 9:30 morning social, followed by the speaker at 10:15 and business meeting at 11.

Confirm the program and reserve a visitor spot through the club before attending.

Its homepage lists admin@wellingtongardenclub.org for questions.

Guests may attend two meetings before joining, according to the membership page.

Current listed annual dues are $45 for an individual or $65 for a couple, with payment timing worth confirming directly.

Beyond meetings, the club describes educational outings and projects including a community garden at the Boys & Girls Club of Wellington and the wildflower meadow at Greenbriar Park.

Contact organizers about volunteer needs and access rather than assuming drop-in participation at a youth-program site.

A first meeting can be a chance to bring one question, listen and decide which activities fit your interests.

Check current arrangements before traveling, enrolling or paying.

No gardening experience is needed to begin asking questions.

Cardinal Mooney defeated Palm Beach Central 58–36 on Friday, October 23, according to the Cardinal Mooney schedule and WPBF’s Week 10 roundup.

Wellington vs. Santaluces: the postponed game was listed for Monday, October 26. A final score was not confirmed in the sources available when this issue was updated, so we are leaving it unreported rather than guessing.

Follow the teams’ current schedules and results for any changes.

Luis Fernando Larrazábal and Camp S won the $24,999 Perfect Products Grand Prix at Wellington International’s ESP Fall III on Sunday, October 25, according to equestrian outlet Chacco Info. The pair jumped clear in both rounds, finishing the jump-off in 36.143 seconds.

Wellington Runners Club’s race morning is Sunday, November 1, at Tiger Shark Cove Park, 13800 Greenbriar Boulevard. The organizer lists the 10-Miler and Tower Challenge at 7 a.m. and the 5K at 7:20 a.m.

The longer route includes the Wellington Environmental Preserve; the Tower Challenge adds a climb up and down the five-story tower. Proceeds benefit the Kids Cancer Foundation and other local charities.

Clocks return to standard time that morning. Confirm your race, current registration terms and packet-pickup instructions, and check your alarm settings.

Saturday, November 7, 9 a.m.–noon: Wellington lists a free beginner clinic at Greenbriar Park, 2975 Greenbriar Boulevard, for ages 10 and older.

Learn rules, serving and basic strategy. The Village says no equipment is necessary, but advance registration is required and space is limited. Check availability through the recreation catalog before making plans.

Village pickleball information and registration

Thursday Nights in Wellington will feature Ticket to the Moon, an Electric Light Orchestra tribute, on Thursday, October 29, 2026.

The Village lists a free event from 5 to 9 p.m. at Wellington Amphitheater, 12100 Forest Hill Boulevard.

The featured music is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., so the event opening and performance start should be treated as separate planning times.

Food trucks and local vendors are part of the Thursday series.

Check current participation before expecting a particular meal or stall from an earlier event.

Budget separately for purchases even though admission is free.

The listing describes a tribute performance, not an appearance by the original ELO lineup, and no individual songs are confirmed.

Bring your own blanket or chairs, as requested in the official listing, and keep shared routes clear.

Agree on a meeting point and ask the organizer directly about access needs or permitted items that affect your plans.

Check the official event page and Statusfy before leaving, since outdoor schedules can change.

Call 561-753-2484 with questions not answered by the published information.

Leave room for a shorter outing or a backup plan if conditions change.

Official event details and current arrangements

The Fall Circuit Finale horse show is scheduled to bring hunter and jumper competition back to Wellington International’s main showgrounds at the end of October.

The official Annual Series calendar currently lists the event from Wednesday, October 28, through Sunday, November 1, 2026.

A separate official all-events page lists public-facing dates from Friday, October 30, through Sunday, November 1, and the venue homepage shows an 8 a.m. start on Friday.

Because those pages differ, spectators should confirm the live schedule before choosing a date.

Wellington International says daytime Annual Series competition offers free general admission, but that does not automatically confirm parking, vendors, premium seating or access to every operational area.

The organizer also publishes 561-793-5867 for questions.

Hunter classes emphasize consistency and presentation, while jumper classes are decided by faults and time, giving newcomers two different ways to follow rounds over fences.

Class order can move with entries, weather and operating needs, so plan a flexible morning or afternoon rather than building the outing around an unconfirmed feature.

Use the current venue map for the entrance, check access needs directly, and prepare for South Florida sun or changing weather.

Families should keep noise low near competition areas, observe barriers and never approach a horse without clear permission.

The finale marks competition’s return from Equestrian Village to the main grounds, but it is not the Winter Equestrian Festival.

Official event details and current arrangements

Wellington’s next free beginner pickleball clinic is listed for Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 9 in the morning until noon at Greenbriar Park, 2975 Greenbriar Boulevard.

The program is for ages 10 and older who are starting or have recently begun playing.

Instruction covers rules, basic strategies and serving, and the Village says no equipment is necessary.

Advance registration is required, and space is limited.

Find the session in Wellington’s online recreation catalog, sign in or create an account, and keep your enrollment confirmation.

Check the live listing before leaving home, especially if outdoor conditions could affect plans.

For a first visit, consider comfortable athletic clothing, suitable court shoes, water for breaks and sun protection.

Parents should confirm supervision expectations, and anyone needing accommodations should contact the program ahead of time.

The clinic is separate from ordinary open play, where players bring their own paddles and balls and follow the posted rotation rules.

Greenbriar’s open play is listed daily from sunrise to sunset on six courts.

A lesson booking does not reserve a private court afterward.

If November does not work, December 5 is the next listed clinic date to investigate.

Start by checking availability rather than buying equipment before you have tried the sport.

Official event details and current arrangements

Gabriel’s Café & Grille advertises all-day breakfast at 12793 West Forest Hill Boulevard in Wellington.

The restaurant’s published hours are 7 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon Monday through Saturday, and 7 until 2 on Sunday.

It lists 561-793-0675 for direct questions.

The daytime schedule makes it an option for a later breakfast or lunch plan, with closing and final ordering arrangements worth confirming before a late arrival.

Its business profile describes omelettes, Benedicts, waffles, pancakes, crepes, sandwiches, salads and burgers.

The official homepage also highlights eggs Benedict.

Review the current menu before choosing a particular dish, and ask about available changes or portions rather than assuming every request can be accommodated.

Check that online information belongs to the Wellington restaurant by matching the Forest Hill Boulevard address and official phone number.

Similarly named businesses can appear in search results.

For takeout, confirm current ordering arrangements directly, and use the estimate provided for the actual order.

Dietary, seating, access and larger-party questions should also go to the café before the visit.

This is a guide based on published information, without firsthand tasting claims.

A quick check of the day’s hours and your group’s needs can make planning a daytime meal more straightforward.

Jimmy Brooklyn’s Pizza Parlor offers Wellington residents dine-in, carryout and delivery from 2793 South State Road 7, Suite 300.

The restaurant lists 561-328-6401 for direct questions and links to online ordering through its official site.

Its published menu includes specialty pizzas, calzones, strombolis, heroes, pasta, salads and a children’s menu.

Options such as House Special, Veggie Supreme, Pizza Caprese and white pizza offer different starting points for a shared order.

For a group, settle everyone’s preferences and check pie sizes before deciding quantities.

Menu descriptions are useful, but dietary requirements and preparation questions deserve a direct conversation with staff.

A listed gluten-free option does not answer every handling question.

Posted hours run from 11 in the morning until 9 at night Monday through Thursday and Sunday, with Friday and Saturday closing at 10.

Confirm changes before a late visit or holiday order.

Pickup and delivery estimates should come from the actual order rather than a general expectation.

For a larger gathering, the catering page asks for at least 24 hours’ notice.

Discuss the head count, food, timing, serving needs and total quote directly, since advance notice alone does not guarantee availability.

This guide uses published restaurant information and makes no firsthand tasting claims.

Rocky’s Ace Hardware Wellington is at 13837 Wellington Trace and offers a local starting point for household project supplies.

The official store listing identifies departments including tools, paint, lawn and garden, plumbing, cleaning and pet products.

Before visiting, note the exact product, size and quantity you need, and bring relevant measurements, model numbers or photographs.

For paint, identify the surface and intended use rather than relying on a color name alone.

When ordering online, select the Wellington store and review availability for the precise product variation.
