Pierceton Elementary School has been notified that the school is a finalist in the competition for the International Reading Association Exemplary Reading Program Award. This international award is given to recognize outstanding reading and language arts programs at all grade levels (elementary, middle and high school). Its purpose is to call the public's attention to outstanding programs in schools throughout North America. The program has five objectives: to improve literacy in our society, to recognize school staffs who demonstrate excellence in reading and literacy programs, to encourage the development and refinement of exemplary reading/language arts programs, to report to the public noteworthy efforts to improve reading/language arts, and to disseminate specific information about high-quality programs so that other professionals can use it to improve their own instructional efforts. A review committee will visit Pierceton Elementary this month to look at and discuss the reading program and initiatives that are in place.
