The Rotary Club of Sun Lakes reviewed applications for its annual RCSL Sandy Lundberg “Educator of the Year” Scholarship, choosing three Chandler Unified teachers to give presentations at an RCSL meeting.
Kim Alvin DeLara — a second-grade teacher at CUSD’s Hartford Sylvia Encinas Elementary School — was selected as the Educator of the Year, taking home a $2,000 scholarship.
The presentations were scored by RCSL judges, addressing teachers’ experiences; leadership achievements; relationships with students, parents, and families; volunteer activities; letters of recommendation and promotion of Rotary ideals.
