LEARNING FOR SUCCESS/KAPOW PROGRAM

Kelvin Lewis, C.A.R.E. Program Manager for the City of Miramar is a proud volunteer of the Learning for Success/KAPOW Program (Kids and the Power of Work). KAPOW connects volunteers with schools to teach students about work, and how to connect their success in school with success in the workplace and life With its long-standing commitment to the KAPOW Program, this year the City of Miramar partnered with Sea Castle Elementary again to provide career and work place skill lessons to 2nd grade students. At the culmination of the 8-week planned lessons, students participated in a field trip at Miramar Fire Station #107 to receive training in fire safety, prevention, and other life-saving techniques. The children were so excited to be up close and personal with actual fire fighters and learn about what they do in a day Fire Station #107 accommodated 78 students in smaller groups that rotated throughout different work stations Lunch was sponsored by the Miramar Police Department and each student received their own Fire Fighter hat The Learning for Success/ KAPOW program has been a City Manager initiative since 2000, and Dr. Roy Virgin, the current City Manager and proud proponent of education proudly works with the Miramar schools to continue this initiative. Mr. Lewis lives by his favorite motto, “Do more than you’re asked to and your reward will be unimaginable”
