Operation Round Up®: Teacher Spotlight
Lafayette Elementary School teacher Sandy Bass used Operation Round Up® grants to build her classroom book collection. Bass allows students to choose a book to read three times — once with someone at home, a second time with their teacher, and again with another school employee. Once done, the student can earn “brag tags” to wear on a necklace showing their accomplishments.
Participation has helped improve Standardized Test for Assessment of Reading scores through increased exposure to reading and literature. Bass hopes it will encourage her students to not only become stronger readers but also lovers of reading, too.
Hitting The Links
SVEC’s Tray Boatright, Austin Long, and Adam Ford traded in their hard hats for golf clubs as they participated in a charity golf tournament benefitting the Live Oak Rotary’s local scholarship fund.
