Our Kids are Ready! Are YOU?
It was a grand effort from a multitude of people. We joined together from churches, high schools, clubs and businesses, not to mention all the individuals, and helped our kids get excited about the first week of school, which is in two days.

After yet another year of being flexible and innovative, we celebrated this past weekend that Zoom tutoring has (finally!) come to an end, kids are moving to new grades and WE DID IT!

Thanks to you all, our students (and tutors!) ran the City Heights Runners 5k and Fun Run last weekend. We crushed it. Many placed in their categories!

It’s that time for year-end giving. We know that you have a lot of organizations reaching out to you for both your attention and your wallet. Why should you consider giving to SDRT?
