The impact of Federal Title 1 funds is making a difference in our schools! Today, Federal Programs and the Office of Instruction distributed bookstore gift certificates to secondary school librarians and principals as part of an initiative to encourage student reading and engagement.
These certificates serve as incentives for students who demonstrate dedication and effort in their English Language Arts (ELA) classrooms and actively utilize their school libraries. By rewarding students for their commitment to literacy, the program aims to foster a love for reading and strengthen their academic success.
A total of 200 gift certificates were purchased and can be redeemed at local bookstores, Amy’s Bookcase and Quill and Quest. These partnerships with local businesses help connect students with a diverse selection of books, further supporting their educational journey.
We are excited to see how these reading incentives inspire students and contribute to their learning experience. Thank you to our educators, librarians, and local bookstore partners for supporting literacy in our schools!
