Several lanes of Florida’s Turnpike were shut down Sunday morning due to a vehicle fire. It was located near the Griffin Road exit in Broward County, just south of Interstate 595. Southbound traffic appeared to be merged down to one lane while first responders worked the scene.
Earlier in the morning, rescue crews were observed working to extinguish the blaze. Authorities have not provided any information on the circumstances that led up to the fire, or if anyone was injured. For many families, getting their children ready to head back to school can get expensive fast.On Sunday morning in Palmetto Bay, a group of local businesses and nonprofits teamed up to take some of that pressure off, providing everything from school supplies to haircuts, all for free.The event was held at The Cut Stop barbershop, located at 9853 E Fern St., were students in kindergarten through 12th grade were welcomed to receive backpacks, school supplies, hygiene kits and other essentials.They’re also being treated to free haircuts and hair braiding, along with sports physicals, counseling vouchers, brow services, and other resources.In all, 13 local businesses and nonprofits contributed to Sunday’s event.Organizers said the goal is to make sure students walk into the new school year feeling prepared and confident, especially young people served by LSF Miami Bridge Youth & Family Services.
The group operates emergency shelters for children dealing with trauma or instability, making the start of a new school year an even bigger challenge for some families. The countdown is on before the start of a new school year, and Broward County Public Schools are gearing up. Superintendent Howard Hepburn says he’s ready for classes to begin on Monday.
“We’re excited to welcome all our students back,” he said. They’re preparing classrooms and readying themselves to welcome their students.”The school district continues to face dwindling numbers in student enrollment, which means less funding.School leaders say specialized curriculum will make a difference, including the space and aviation technology program at Miramar High School.When it comes to food offerings, nearly 150 district schools are qualified for free meals, and families at remaining schools can apply for reduced lunches.“We had a surplus amount of money because of grants we received from COVID, and then we were able to have all of our students eat for free,” said Elizabeth Seeley with Broward County Public Schools. “But that surplus is now down.”Even though full lunch prices will increase by $1 at all grade levels, all students can still enjoy breakfast for free.“We are a very large district, and we have a lot of students, and all of them have different likes and dislikes and we want to be sure we’re offering a wide variety,” said Seeley.
