SUPERINTENDENT CARVALHO PRESENTS A CHECK
TO SUCCESS ACADEMY 'GRADUATES'

Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho presents
a check to students at Holmes Elementary School

On Friday, April 24, Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho delivered an oversized check to Holmes Elementary School students in celebration of the Success Academy tutoring initiative, which helped students in struggling schools prepare for the state exam.

The academy was designed to boost student achievement and give students the academic tools they need to succeed in the classroom. Nine schools began holding tutoring sessions in December, including selected days during the Winter Recess. In addition to stressing academic rigor and enrichment, the academy provided a financial literacy component to teach students the importance of proper money management and gave incentives to students who participated in the voluntary tutoring sessions.
