Danette Davis, Pima JTED's 21st Century Learning Program Coordinator, recently won the Arizona Center for Afterschool Excellence (AzCASE) Award of Excellence for Outstanding Out-of-School Time Professional.
 

"Recognizing the power of family, school and community partnerships, Danette has built a broad network of community partners that all contribute to her students' experiential learning and success," said Melanie McClintock, AzCASE Executive Director. "Most importantly, she has been insightful in identifying and tapping persons of support in a student's life when that student lacks traditional support from his or her own nuclear family."
 

Ms. McClintock presented Ms. Davis with a trophy, a certificate from Governor Doug Ducey, and a check for $1,000.
 

Pima JTED's 21st Century Learning Grant provides academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet standards in core academic subjects, and offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that complement their regular academic programs.
