Two of the school’s most pressing needs this year are assisting housing-insecure students with food, clothing, and other items and supporting the mental health and well-being of the students and staff. This year, your Give Miami Day donation will be used to support both of these initiatives.
This school year, Miami Southridge Senior High School identified 80+ students experiencing housing instability or transitional living situations. Project UP-START, under the Division of Student and Family Support Programs, is the education program for Children and Youth Living in Unstable Housing in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The program assists schools with the identification, enrollment, and attendance of students in unstable housing to help ensure their successful academic achievement. The core of the program is to prevent children and youth in transition from being stigmatized, separated, segregated, or isolated.
Monies raised will go towards providing the following for identified students:
*Hot meals during school breaks
*Non-perishable foods
*Publix and/or Walmart gift cards
*School uniforms & supplies
*Toiletries
*Prom, Grad Bash & Senior Brunch tickets and yearbooks for the seniors in the identified group
Mindfulness has been Miami Southridge's newest exploratory journey to further support their students, staff, and stakeholders.
The school plans on expanding their "Mindful Corner" to an entire classroom dedicated to improving mental health. Their current "Mindful Corner" is a space for an individual to sit back, take a moment to reflect, and engage with a Student Services professional. The space has been monumental in building significant relationships built on trust. Students continue to express gratitude for allowing them moments to "be." This feedback has been constant and across the board from all participants with our mindfulness practices.
The concept of mindfulness encourages individuals and groups to engage in practices that help ease anxiety by reminding, teaching, and guiding participants to focus on the present moment, the place where peace, balance, and joy can be found. The school will ensure the success of the new sanctuary by conducting workshops for students and staff and providing immediate crisis intervention to their most vulnerable individuals.
Your Give Miami Day donation will help establish a Wellness Sanctuary which will remind students that the present is the one moment that they can make epic, amazing, and engaging.
