Students in Miami-Dade County public schools know the meaning of philanthropy -- they have collected more for the United Way than any other school district in the country.
''We've had a long partnership with the Miami-Dade public school system,'' says Tammy Klingler, senior vice president for United Way's Miami-Dade chapter. ``No other school system comes close anywhere in the country.''
After Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, students wanted to help and Klingler says the United Way suggested collecting bottled water."
