Summit View Middle teacher involves students in literacy project
Service learning is an integral part of the curriculum for Cathy Kappes, who teaches sixth grade language arts at Summit View Middle School.
"I know from my own experience that students who are read to from a very young age are more likely to read later on for pleasure," Kappes says. "It fosters that literacy idea at a very early age, and it fosters the idea of reading for fun and not because you have to."
Her recent project allowed her students to read to preschoolers. Continue reading about Cathy and her students' literacy project by clicking here.

Students at White's Tower Elementary School are showing how far cotton candy swirled with some love can go.
The 18-member student council is making blankets for Project Linus, a national organization that provides new blankets to children who are critically ill.
They enthusiastically jumped on the project when two teachers at the school were diagnosed this year with cancer.
While both have been on leave, the students have been working hard this month at recess and after school in their honor. The blankets will be completed in a few weeks.
