On the evening of Thursday, March 13th, we gathered for the 4th annual Legacy Ceremony, a night where the spirit of community, love, and inspiration illuminated the Kaseya Center. SEED Champions, staff, friends, and families united in celebration of the Class of 2025, their accomplishments, and the promise of all that lies ahead. If you were fortunate enough to be present, you could feel the air buzzing with a rare and beautiful energy—a magical thread of connection weaving through the crowd.
In a moment that felt like poetry in motion, Coach Rothstein, our very first Legacy Ceremony honoree, was there to pass the torch to this year's distinguished honoree, Bam Adebayo. A full-circle moment, rich with meaning, that captured the essence of legacy itself.
The evening was brought to life by Channel 10’s Will Manso, whose boundless energy was matched by the infectious enthusiasm of 6th-grade scholar Nikinely. Together, they led us through a night of laughter, joy, and heartfelt celebration for the future of SEED Miami.
A gift of wonder awaited our seniors: a trip to Walt Disney World, made possible by SEED Miami Board Member Dorothy Terrell, in partnership with Bam Adebayo and Brightline. Our scholars, too, shone with style and grace, outfitted in generous donations from Ugg's and Centric Brands, a reflection of the care and community that surrounds them.
The evening was one that surpassed the boundaries of time, where legacy was not merely honored, but embodied. A defining moment came when Senior Jayden Murray-Cruz spoke from the heart, sharing his truth and the legacy he leaves within the SEED community. His words will resonate for a lifetime. Jayden reflected on his journey to and through SEED, and the lasting impact he hopes to have on future generations, including the five siblings who now follow in his footsteps as underclass scholars at our institution
