Points of Pride

 

State Superintendent of Schools, Richard Woods Visits Pointe South Elementary

The State Superintendent of Schools, Richard Woods recognized Pointe South  Elementary for their achievement of a 25% increase in Reading. Mr. Woods presented the PSE principal Dr. Dixon with a banner signifying their accomplishment as Literacy Leaders. We want to congratulate the 3 grade teachers and their students for this achievement.

The impact of this recognition to our 3rd graders encourages them to strive for excellence not only in reading but in all of their academic goals. 

Real Men Read

During Read Across America Week, PSE fathers along with male role models of our community came out to read to the students. The event promoted a love of reading with a focus on positive male role models in the classroom. 

Real Men Read provided an opportunity for students to see their male role models in a positive setting participating in activities that promoted reading. This event also encouraged students to be more social and strive to demonstrate positive behaviors in school.
