RE wins Exemplary Dade Partner service award
Ransom Everglades School was named an Exemplary Dade Partner by Miami-Dade Public Schools during its annual community partners luncheon April 6, one of among just a handful of the 73 nominees to receive that recognition. RE had been nominated by Frances S. Tucker Elementary in Coconut Grove.
Natalie Fredman '17, an officer in the Volunteer Student Organization (VSO), accepted a plaque from Alberto M. Carvalho, the county school superintendent, on behalf of Ransom Everglades and the dozens of students who volunteer at Tucker.
RE students provide tutoring in math and reading three days a week, and "Blessings in a Backpack," packages of food and snacks for children receiving free-or-reduced-price lunches to take home on weekends.
"Ransom Everglades is a valued community partner for Tucker," said Neki Mohan, Local 10 News anchor and event emcee. "Students at Ransom Everglades volunteer countless hours to ensure that students at Tucker get what they need to help them be successful in school."
Associate Dean for Student Affairs Paul Elkins, who works with RE clubs and service organizations, also attended the 39th Annual Community Partners Recognition Awards. The event at Jungle Island recognized exemplary partners and outstanding school volunteers for their contributions and service to Miami-Dade’s public schools and students.
Fredman was photographed with Tucker Principal Annette DeGoti, Carvalho, school board chair Lawrence Feldman and three school board members. Ransom Everglades was a co-winner for the central region.
