About 16 students enjoyed a full day with the Village of Key Biscayne last week as part of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.<\/p>\n
The visitors learned about the inner workings of village government, explored the police department\u2019s fleet of cruisers and motorcycles, and visited the island\u2019s fire department, where they got an up-close look at a fire truck and took part in a \u201cdress like a firefighter\u201d challenge.<\/p>\n
Students also spent time shadowing their parents or relatives in their workplaces and toured the community center and Village Green. The day wrapped up with a build-your-own ice cream sundae activity.<\/p>\n
The event was organized by Village Chief of Staff Jennifer L. Rodero.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was truly inspiring to welcome the next generation into our workplace and give them a behind-the-scenes look at how local government serves our community every day,\u201d Rodero said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"About 16 students enjoyed a full day with the Village of Key Biscayne last week as part of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255532,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[126,123,125,124,3384,111113,111114,111115,53868],"class_list":["post-255531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-key-biscayne","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-students","tag-take-your-child-to-work-day","tag-take-your-daughter-to-work-day","tag-take-your-son-to-work-day","tag-village-government"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255531\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
