Project UP-START

Our children were so excited to join us and experience what it’s like to support students and families across @MDCPS. It was a day full of learning, connection, and inspiration as they saw firsthand the impact of the work we do every day.

We had the opportunity to attend the FPP Community Partners Luncheon—an incredible experience focused on connection and collaboration. Together, we’re sharing resources and partnerships to better support our students and families. @FIU @suptdotres @miamischools @mdcpstitlei

@itechmegamagnet seniors had an amazing time at the Prom Boutique—they are officially prom ready! Students received a variety of items to help them prepare for their special night. ✨

We are incredibly grateful to @GivingGators for hosting a prom gown drive that resulted in the donation of over 300 gowns, along with purses and accessories. Because of your generosity, so many of our students will have the opportunity to attend prom feeling confident.

Every student deserves a magical prom night. Thanks to @ProjectUPSTART, M‑DCPS seniors in need can access free prom attire and support for senior activities. #YourBestChoiceMDCPS wsvn.com/news/local/mia…
