BELLE GLADE — This summer, while many students experience “Summer Slide,” the learning loss that occurs during the summer break, student-athletes at The Student ACES Center in Belle Glade are forging ahead. With the steadfast support of sponsors like Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), Student ACES is dedicated to ensuring that students continue to thrive academically and personally through the innovative Student ACES Passport to Winning program.
The Student ACES Passport to Winning program is a research-backed comprehensive initiative designed to guide student-athletes through a series of interactive and hands-on tasks. These tasks are meticulously crafted to prepare them not just for graduation, but for success in life. Over the summer months, participants engage in activities focused on seven essential guiding principles featured below. FPL’s commitment has been instrumental in the success of this program; it allows Student ACES to provide these enriching experiences without financial barriers, ensuring all students have the opportunity to benefit from the program.
