Racial justice alliance awards Milton Elementary students
The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice recently honored Milton Elementary students Xavier Williams and Avaiya Hazzard for their demonstration of leadership, improvement, effort and excellence.
Xavier, a second-grader in Olga Tigue’s classroom, is known as respectful, responsible and a great role model for other students. Teachers say he is a pleasure to have in the classroom.
Avaiya, a fourth-grader in Catina Bright’s classroom, demonstrates leadership qualities on a daily basis. Always willing to help her peers and her teachers, Avaiya is enthusiastic about her reading and does her best to use the Spanish language when communicating in her immersion class.
Each student received a $20 gift card to Browseabout Books in Rehoboth and a book about the first Black Supreme Court justice, Thurgood Marshall.
SDARJ’s education committee initiated the award to recognize students in the Cape district who represent ideals of leadership, effort and excellence in their schools. A nonpartisan organization, SDARJ educates, informs and advocates for racial justice, equality and fair opportunity. For more information, go to sdarj.org.
