Hartford Sylvia Encinas Elementary School Scholarship

(1 available) - $1,000

This scholarship was created to honor Sylvia Encinas, long-time volunteer, beloved community member, and dedicated employee of Hartford Elementary schooll.  It was funded through the support of the Hartford Elementary PTO and Student Council, as well as through fundraising efforts on the part of teachers and students. 

Sylvia Encinas was dedicated to helping people through her generosity, spirit, passion and energy.  Even during her youth in Tucson, a radio station featured her every Saturday on the air, asking for donations of food and medical supplies for community members in need. These experiences formed the roots of her lifelong commitment to service, which led her to joining the Hartford Elementary School community as a parent volunteer and extending to 26 years working at Hartford.
