Shoutout to Breakthrough Miami Scholar and 6th-gra

Shoutout to Breakthrough Miami Scholar and 6th-grade student at @somersetcanyonsmiddle_high, Miguel Jansen-Pardon! 🍎

Miguel was selected as our Scholar of the Month due to his outstanding academic performance, consistent class participation, and positive contributions to our campus. He has also demonstrated exceptional effort, responsibility, and kindness toward his peers, often going above and beyond our expectations.

When he's not actively studying, Miguel can be found practicing his Jiu-Jitsu skills - He has been training for 4 years!

When he graduates in 2032, Miguel dreams of working in the medical field, possibly with children that have disabilities. He is considering pursuing a career as a therapist, whether it be physical or mental. ❤️‍🩹

Keep up the "breakalicious" work, Miguel! 👏

Today we celebrate the women who make Breakthroughs possible 💡💙

On #InternationalWomensDay, we honor the "breakalicious" women in our Village and community who go above and beyond to serve others and open doors of opportunity for the next generation.

From the dedicated educators and mentors guiding our Scholars, to the passionate leaders, partners, family, and supporters who champion our Scholars and our mission, women are at the heart of the work that powers Breakthrough Miami.

We thank the women who lead, mentor, advocate, and believe in what’s possible for young leaders. We salute the countless ways you help turn potential into opportunity and dreams into reality.
