The Importance of Mentoring our Young People

In 2018 Jim won the Education Fund’s Public  School Alumni Achievement Award for excellence in Miami-Dade public schools.

Since then, he has been teaching once a year in select classrooms and raising funds for the students and their teachers.

Jim usually follows the teacher’s lead on the lesson plan.

A few years ago a grade school class wanted to learn about the Holocaust. Jim arranged for a Holocaust survivor to tell his story in their classroom. It was amazing to watch them listen and ask questions.

Jim has also taught high school special needs students and AP level civics students.

Marilen and Jim discuss how important this program is to our public schools and how you can help these students have a better life by contributing to the Education Fund annual campaign.

About Our Guest:
 
The “Perfect Season” Miami Dolphins selected Ed Newman in the sixth round of the 1973 NFL draft. Ed went on to play 12 seasons (1973 to 1984) for Coach Don Shula, during which time he participated in one winning Super Bowl and two American Conference championships. Ed earned All-Pro recognition four times and played in 167 games, of which he started in 113. Ed reluctantly broke from the Dolphins after a knee injury that occurred in 1985.
Ed went on to pursue a law degree and served as a civil litigator from 1987 to 1994. After a successful election campaign, Ed was commissioned as a County Court Judge in and for Miami-Dade. Ed first served in the Domestic Violence Division, and over the span of 28 years, he rotated to preside over thousands of cases in the county’s Civil and Criminal Courts. 
In recognition of his charitable contributions, the South Florida Blood Service had “N.W. 17th Street” renamed to “Ed Newman Street.” The Miami Dolphins inducted Ed into their Walk of Fame in 2014, for his contributions to the team and the community. The following year, he was honored as one of the “Top 50” Miami Dolphins to have played within the first 50 years of the franchise.
