SDARJ African American Achievement Award at Lord Baltimore Elementary
The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) recently honored Lord Baltimore Elementary fifth-grader, Eston Alston, for his leadership, effort, and excellence. Eston was recognized in a ceremony at the school and received a $20 bookstore gift card.
According Zachary Hill, Eston’s teacher, Eston demonstrates leadership in school by helping his peers in the classroom. His outstanding effort and positive self-reflection have enabled him to earn a position on the Honor Roll, receive an award in the Sussex County Fire Prevention Essay Contest, and earn recognition as Student of the Month, all within the first marking period of the school year.
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.
