Traverse City Area Public Schools and Cherry Knoll Elementary School would like to thank the Alcoa Foundation and Grand Traverse Stamping for awarding Cherry Knoll a $20,000 Small Community Grant this year for its Partnerships for Family Literacy program. The program focuses on family literacy for Pre-K through sixth grade by providing materials and strategies for reading and writing at home and school. The program also provides enrichment experiences, including authors and speakers, for students in school.
“This literacy experience will provide young families with useful tools, materials, and strategies to promote reading and writing with our youngest learners. Grand Traverse Stamping, under the direction of plant manager, Bob Lohr, has been a faithful, long-standing teaching partner with a commendable commitment to well-rounded, strong education. Cherry Knoll Elementary School appreciates their continued dedication to our school community,” remarked Linda Barker, Cherry Knoll Elementary School Principal.
Grand Traverse Stamping has been Partners in Education with Cherry Knoll Elementary School for the past seven years. Through their support in the past, the school has been able to provide increased literacy materials and instruction, Spanish instruction, enrichment speakers, author’s visits, nonfiction reading materials for fourth graders, and new technology.
Please contact Cherry Knoll Elementary School Principal Linda Barker at 933-8940 for more information.
