Sunrise Rotary provides award for Literacy Services of IRC’s Student of the Year

Literacy Services’ Student of the Year is awarded to an individual for their incredible progress towards their literacy and language related goals. Tutors submit nominations that highlight students’ progress, goals completed, barriers they have overcome, and success stories. The Student of the Year is then selected and announced. They receive a plaque and an award which is graciously supplied by Sunrise Rotary Vero Beach

This year, Literacy Services announced the Student of the Year, Daniel Betancourt, at their Love of Literacy Luncheon on Friday, March 17, 2023. Following that fundraising event, their Student Celebration was held on April 29, 2023, where they again celebrated Daniel, along with all of the students’ accomplishments over the past year.

In addition to sponsoring an award for the student of the year, Sunrise Rotary also supported Literacy Services’ mission and vision through the purchase of two different sets of highly requested curriculum. These materials allow the volunteer tutors to meet their students where they are and build their basic literacy and language skills, free of charge to the students
