First graders at Redland Elementary in Homestead are led into the classroom by their teacher after being dropped off by their parents on Oct. 5. It was the first day of Miami-Dade County Public Schools opened for in-person classes since the onset of the pandemic.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools reconvened Monday for the second semester of an unprecedented school year as the county’s COVID-19 positivity rates did not meet one of the established criteria for reopening schools.
Miami-Dade County’s 14-day positivity rate is 10.57% and rising. That doesn’t jibe with the criteria the district set in deciding when to reopen schools.
The Miami HEAT, alongside PepsiCo, TD Bank, FedEx Express, and Comcast, hosted a contactless drive-through food and gift distribution to make the holidays brighter for local students and families from Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS). Twelve students, identified from underprivileged areas, received a holiday gift bag from FedEx, a subscription for eight months of internet service, and a Chromebook laptop from Comcast, JBL headphones, toys, and other items from HEAT partners.
Families also received meals from a local Black-owned business, Shuckin and Jivin Chicken and Seafood Restaurant, provided by PepsiCo as part of Pepsi Stronger Together – a national initiative to empower and engage communities around the country by providing tailored programming and resources that bring people together. In January, PepsiCo will collaborate with the HEAT to provide 1,000 meals that will be distributed throughout South Florida to families in need.
