New World School of the Arts College students performed African dance for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing students at Palm Springs Middle School in Hialeah. The annual event was followed by a workshop that helped students explore African dance and drumming through visual and tactual stimuli. The event was the culmination of Black History Month.

M-DCPS' newest police recruit


Tiffany the bloodhound was the center of attention at the March Board Meeting. She was donated by the Miami-Dade County, State Attorney’s Office, to assist in the location of abducted or missing children in the District. The dog was the gift of Hilary Sessions, whose daughter, Tiffany, disappeared 16 years ago.
