OAR Charter Academy, a public, tuition-free K- 8th grade public school, joined thousands of educators in the adventure now called distance learning. SOAR educators were encouraged to create an outof-the-box educational experience for students from home and achieved just that. With the advertisement of high school graduations, we can’t forget the achievements of our youngest learners. Through the struggles of distance learning SOAR wanted to recognize our kindergarteners promoting on to
first grade, and their parent. During the COVID-19 pandemic parents were thrust into a teaching position and played a major roll in the educational success of our youngest achievers. SOAR held a drive-through kindergarten promotion ceremony on Wednesday, June 10, where each student was individually recognized with their own unique awards and successes. The families each received an award as in recognition for stepping up at home to ensure their child’s academic success.
