2018-19 District 5440 Theme: Literacy

Nationwide, 65% of fourth graders are below proficient in reading. Colorado and Wyoming are only slightly better.

This year's District 5440 theme is literacy. What is the District doing about literacy?

On October 6 a District Literacy Symposium will be held from 9-3 at the Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne.
$15,000 has been set aside for Literacy Centennial grants of up to $1,000 each.
A competition will select the top three literacy projects in the district with prizes of additional grant funds for the winners.
Successes will be celebrated at the Foundation Dinner in April, 2019.
