My Project

Newman Elementary will host its End of the Year Progress Power-Up Honor’s Day Program on May 23, 2025. To motivate the students at our school to read and to achieve growth increase as they read, three students in each class, grades (K-6) who have made the most growth increase from the beginning of the year up to May 10th in our LEXIA Reading Program, will be recognized. In addition, they will qualify to have their names entered in a drawing for BIG PRIZES! Please help us to give these wonderful achievers some wonderful prizes! Our students have been working so hard to achieve growth increase.

Thank you so much for sharing in this motivating experience and helping us to establish a culture of doing our very best work!
