Proud to recognize Ms. Shaquellia Holmes, Executive Director in @MDCPSCommunity and @MDCPS alum, for her inspiring leadership in connecting @UnitedWayMiami with @RainbowParkElem — the very school that helped shape her early education. As part of the recent 2025 Leaders Day of Action, Ms. Holmes and community partners transformed the campus with painted murals, a revamped teachers’ lounge, new furniture, and vibrant gardens — creating a welcoming space where students can truly thrive. Huge thanks to Ms. Holmes, @UnitedWayMiami, @BankofAmerica, tutodartist, and all the incredible volunteers who poured their hearts into this effort. #YourBestChoiceMDCPS
