July 9, 1999
The three senior high school winners of the first Minimum Wage Essay
Contest recently were named by the school system's Division of Social
Sciences/Special Programs and the Law Offices of Jonathan Kroner.
The winner of the first place, $500 prize is David Rodrigues of Coral
Reef Senior High; the second place, $300 prize winner is Adam
Frumkin-Sokolow of Miami Killian Senior High; and the third place,
$200 prize winner is Nathalie Jordi of MAST Academy.
Over 70 senior high students submitted essays on the need for a
Florida minimum wage law and why it is important for all regular
employees to be protected by such a law. Kroner, who represents
workers who do not earn the minimum wage, awarded the monetary prizes
for the winning essays.
