From grade levels to teaching modalities to teaching styles, there are differences between the nominees, but they each have one thing in common: dedication to molding young minds.
“Because we know there’s so many students out there who are struggling, they are not making adequate academic progress, said Broward Superintendent Robert Runcie as he toured New River Middle School. They may be in difficult home situations, these students must be back in school, it’s the best place for them to be.
The school’s principal said hundreds of kids have come back since the winter break, and of those, about 200 were struggling with failing grades while they were doing remote learning.
“We had a lot of students that were not doing well prior to coming back to campus, and since they returned, I don’t have hard numbers, but I’d say right around 90% of those students are doing significantly better than they were previously,” said Melinda Wessinger, principal of New River Middle School.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools and the University of Miami Health System are working together to provide FREE COVID-19 testing to students in schools across Miami-Dade County. The effort will be a month-long tour for UM s health system Pediatric Mobile Unit. It started last week at Coral Reef Senior High School and continues today at J.C. Bermudez Doral Senior High, 5005 NW 112th Ave.
This service is for parents to take their children to one of these selected schools to get tested from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. But there s only one catch. It s only available for children ages 4 to 18, identification is not required, but parents will need to accompany the child.
