Kim Pryzbylski, superintendent of schools, does her job: cutting the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches into halves.
MIAMI | When school’s not in session, what do staff at the Department of Schools do? They make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless.
At least that’s what they did July 10, joining in a service project devised by Samuel Ambroise, a senior who is about to graduate from the Archdiocese of Miami Virtual School.
Creating an assembly line of sorts atop their office conference table, staff from the superintendent on made and packed more than 100 sandwiches that Samuel would later distribute to the homeless under the bridge near the Miami-Dade County Justice Building.
The assemblers followed a strict recipe: peanut butter and jelly spread on both bread slices, not just one.
“Several months ago she said she wanted to a service project,” said Don Edwards, associate superintendent of schools, referring to Superintendent Kim Pryzbylski.
When Samuel came up with his � a requirement for graduation � “we all just kicked in to make it everybody’s service project,” Edwards said.
“You don’t need a special occasion,” noted Hope Sadowski, administrative executive assistant at the Department of Schools. “People are hungry every day.”
