“Mr. Speaker, I would like to highlight the 2018 Miami Creator's Ball that will take place at LMNCTY on Friday, January 26 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of City Year Miami. City Year volunteers, in their distinctive red jackets, have become a fixture at most of our Miami schools. This wonderful organization connects mentors with students in underserved schools who are at risk of dropping out. City Year Miami members have served more than 225,000 students and have given more than 2 million hours of service to our local schools, and the results speak for themselves. City Year has not only helped more of Miami's at-risk students graduate on time, but it has played a key role in ensuring that more than 80 percent of Miami-Dade students earn their high school diplomas--Simply amazing. Furthermore, 90 percent of Miami teachers say that City Year members help their students improve their overall academic performance. As a former Florida certified teacher, it fills me with great pride to encourage everyone in our community to come to LMNCTY in Miami-Dade County on Friday, January 26 to celebrate City Year Miami's 10th anniversary. ____________________”
