The Miami HEAT and the Office of Community Engagement for Miami-Dade County Public Schools worked together to identify (25) students at varying ages/grade levels in low-income areas to distribute Microsoft laptop devices and other resources to aide their distance-learning needs for the 2020-21 school year. These students were chosen from a pool of current and former students of the HEAT Academy program. On Wednesday, August 26th, all students were directed to Jesse J. McCrary, Jr. Elementary, a HEAT Academy host site, where HEAT Legend, Alonzo Mourning, MDCPS Superintendent Alberto Carvalho District 2 Board Member of MDCPS, Dr. Dorothy Bendross-Mindingall and HEAT Mascot Burnie, greeted them and safely handed each family their care package as they drove through the school’s bus drop-off area.
