LOCAL INSURANCE AGENTS MAKE LARGE INVESTMENT IN M-DCPS
INVEST PROGRAM
Miami-Dade
County public school students will learn more about the
insurance business thanks to a $4,000 donation from
Progressive Insurance that was arranged by the Independent
Insurance Agents of Miami-Dade County. The donation will
help purchase books and instructional materials for the
school system's Invest Program, which teaches students about
the insurance industry and automobile insurance coverages.
The program has been a part of the district's business
education program for more than 30 years.
Local insurance agents will demonstrate the Invest Program
to potential instructors and students at the district's
SCHOOL DISCOVERY SHOWCASE, Saturday, Nov. 6, from 10:30
a.m.-3 p.m. at the Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition's
Arnold Hall, Coral Way and S.W. 112 Ave. The annual showcase
gives students and their families an opportunity to explore
the many choices the school system offers to help students
prepare for future employment and higher education. The
Independent Insurance Agents of Miami-Dade County is a
showcase sponsor.
For more information, contact Dee Oakley, program
instructional supervisor, at 305-995-1847 or insurance agent
Tony Martley, at 305-446-7100.
