THE LAST TOWN HALL & AWARDS CEREMONY OF THE 2016-17 SCHOOL YEAR WAS HELD @ SOUTH DADE SR ON APRIL 25TH. The night began in the courtyard of the school with a Resource Fair where Dis-trict Offices and community organizations had an oppor-tunity to offer their services to all the guests while listen-ing to the sounds of the school’s jazz band. We then moved into the auditorium to get a sneak peak at the talent of so many of our students. I was joined on stage by Palmetto Bay Councilwoman, Karyn Cunningham, South Region Superintendent, Ms. Barbara Mendizabal, and South Region Director, Ms. Reeva Vangates, to recognize two students from each of the District 9 schools for either their academics or citizenship, as well as, the District 9 Silver Knight nominees, the South Dade Dance Team for their State Championship, the Teacher of the Year and Rookie Teacher of the Year District finalists representing the south area, the District 9 South Region finalists and the 2016-17 District Employee of the Year. Thank you to all the principals, parents, staff and students who were present. A big thank you to South Dade Senior Principal, Mr. De Armas, along with the staff and students who made this night possible. Your hospitality was very much appreciated.
