On Friday, July 31, 2026, School Board Member Roberto J. Alonso, District 4, in collaboration with the Office of Senator Ren\u00e9 Garc\u00eda, hosted a successful Back-to-School Giveaway at\u00a0 Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School, providing more than 1,000 students with new backpacks filled with essential school supplies. The event brought together community partners and local families to help students prepare for the upcoming school year, easing the financial burden on parents while ensuring children have the supplies they need to start the school year ready to learn.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beyond school supply distributions, the event provided comprehensive community resources and engaging educational experiences. Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital was on site providing free\u00a0 EKG screenings for families, while Friends of the Miami-Dade Public Library distributed free books to foster youth literacy. Attending families also had the chance to explore the Space Star\u00a0 Lab to learn about Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School\u2019s Aerospace Program, all while dedicated student volunteers from the high school\u2019s Key Club assisted with event operations throughout the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The outreach effort impacted students across 21 District 4 schools, drawing attendees from\u00a0 Amelia Earhart Elementary School, Bob Graham Education Center, Flamingo Elementary School, Henry H. Filer Middle School, Hialeah Middle School, James H. Bright\/J.W. Johnson Elementary School, John G. DuPuis Elementary School, Lawton Chiles Middle School, M.A.\u00a0 Milam K-8 Center, Mae M. Walters Elementary School, Meadowlane Elementary School,\u00a0 Miami Lakes K-8 Center, Miami Lakes Middle School, North Hialeah Elementary School, North\u00a0 Twin Lakes Elementary School, Palm Lakes Elementary School, Palm Springs Elementary School, Palm Springs Middle School, Palm Springs North K-8, Spanish Lake Elementary School, and Twin Lakes Elementary School.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreparing students for success begins with ensuring they have the tools and support they need before the first day of school,\u201d said School Board Member Alonso. \u201cSeeing our community come together to provide school supplies, health screenings, books, and educational opportunities for more than 1,000 students is truly inspiring. I am grateful to\u00a0 Senator Ren\u00e9 Garc\u00eda, our community partners, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this event possible. Together, we are investing in our children and helping every student begin\u00a0 the school year ready to learn and succeed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s success was made possible through strong community collaboration and support from vital organizations, including Senator Ren\u00e9 Garc\u00eda\u2019s Office, Miami-Dade County Tax\u00a0 Collector Dariel Fernandez\u2019s Office, Miami-Dade College \u2013 Hialeah Campus, EdFed, Nicklaus\u00a0 Children\u2019s Hospital, Friends of the Miami-Dade Public Library, Parent Academy, and ShareYourHeart. Through their joint dedication, District 4 families received the health,\u00a0 educational, and material support needed for a strong start to the academic year.\"\"<\/p>\n
