What Success Looks Like

At the end of each trimester, Ibarra Elementary School holds an Award Ceremony. Over the last few years, we have started to see an influx of OUR KIDS getting the awards! What a testament to the hard work you all are doing with our kids. Our kids are having success in school! This is what we hope for all SDRT students.

We had a thoughtful tutor bring flowers for each of our kids getting awards a couple of years ago. Now, we have made it a tradition- we hand them out to our kids as they receive their awards. It was a delight to see over 30 of our students get recognized for their hard work, excellent citizenship and perfect attendance. It is not always easy for our parents to get off work to attend these events. We were fortunate to have several awesome tutors come to the celebration to congratulate our students in person.

The kids are feeling successful and proud. Their confidence is building. The SDRT community matters for our students. Thank you for helping our kids achieve success.
