SDARJ African American Achievement Award at Beacon Middle School
The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) recently honored Beacon Middle School students Santana Bennett and Kendall DeShields for their leadership, effort, and excellence. The students were recognized in a ceremony at the school and received $20 gift cards to Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach.
Santana Bennett is a kind classmate who works well with others and sets a good example of what teamwork is all about. He has shown progress in his classroom effort and continues to make a difference on his athletic teams.
Kendall DeShields is always willing to help others while caring about her own schoolwork. She advocates for herself and others; she’s never afraid to ask a question or ask for help when she needs it. Kendall is a model student who gives 100% effort on her schoolwork.
SDARJ initiated the African American Achievement award to recognize students who represent the ideals of leadership, improvement, effort, and excellence in their schools. Students from each school in the Cape Henlopen and Indian River School Districts are recognized throughout the school year. SDARJ is a nonpartisan organization that educates, informs, and advocates for racial justice, equality, and fair opportunity.
