PROGRAM EVENTS

ANDELE ANNUAL AWARDS DAY

The Andele Awards event is hosted at the end of each year. Students, students' families, tutors, staff, and invited guests gather for lunch, activities, and an awards program at the Cesar Chavez Community Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Students receive completion certificates, special recognition certificates and prizes for winning essays. Students write essays about how parents can help them be better students, and the importance of starting their day with a healthy breakfast.
