Teacher treats MLK-8 Center students to dinner

     Twenty students from Virnalis Arvelo’s eighth grade class at Miami Lakes K-8 Center achieved a perfect score on their English Language Arts Florida Assessment of Student Thinking. 

     “What a fantastic way to end the year,” Arvelo said in an email. “We laughed and cried.”  The students received a level five score and Arvelo treated them to dinner at ML Steak + Sports in Miami Lakes. Since 2010, Arvelo has taken her top scoring students to dinner to celebrate their achievements. 

     “The students are extremely grateful, and I definitely will cherish those memories,” Arvelo said.
