In Southwest Miami-Dade, Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy has opened its doors to students and parents. The school allowed students, teachers, and parents to meet a day before the official start of the academic year. This early meeting gave students a chance to make friends and meet their teachers, while parents had the opportunity to participate in meet-and-greets.

The school's event aimed to help students and parents feel comfortable before the first day of school. The school's mascot, Blaze, was present to greet students as they arrived on campus. Further details about the event and the upcoming academic year are available from WSVN 7 News.
