Miami sixth graders with good grades, behavior and attendance records will be rewarded with laptop computers in a new program starting this month.
The Elevate Miami initiative is part of an education plan from the city of Miami and the Miami-Dade school district to infuse culture, life skills and technology into the traditional curriculum. Also under the program, third-graders will earn museum passes and tickets to cultural events. Eleventh-graders will have the opportunity to intern with top Miami employers. The program only applies to students living within Miami city limits, though school district officials say it may soon be introduced elsewhere in Miami-Dade County.
