In Southwest Miami-Dade, Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy has opened its doors to students and parents. This event allowed students to meet their teachers and make friends ahead of the first day of school. Parents also had the opportunity to participate in meet-and-greets with staff.

The school's mascot, Blaze, was present to greet students as they arrived on campus.
