Almost 100 at-risk students from the Aventura Marketing Council’s (AMC) Dade Partner schools recently had the opportunity to tour Sun Life Stadium thanks to Reginald Sperling from the stadium. They enjoyed a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at the Club Level, Press Box, Scoreboard, Owner’s Suite, LIV Nightclub,  the tunnel, the Marlins’ dugout and the Dolphins locker rooms.

 

The Student Connection is a program of the Education Committee of the AMC, and was created over 20 years ago to answer the need to provide programming for students ‘at risk’ of dropping out of school.  Today, the AMC’s ten Dade Partner schools are invited to participate in this program as well as other programs that help build the relationship between the business and educational communities.  The AMC’s Dade Partner schools are: Aventura City of Excellence Schools (ACES); Aventura Waterways K – 8 Center; Ojus Elementary; Greynolds Park Elementary; David Lawrence, Jr., K – 8 Center; Norman S. Edelcup Sunny Isles Beach Community K – 8 Center; Highland Oaks Middle; Alonzo & Tracy Mourning Sr. High;  Dr. Michael M. Krop Sr. High and North Miami Beach Sr. High.
