We swear that we started out this week hoping to get everyone excited about Saturday’s inaugural Neighborhood Celebration by providing little sneak peeks at each particpation school. So we were going to send out some emails asking for each school to tell us a little something special to share with the community as we lead up to the event.
But a funny thing happened as we started sending out those emails: Good news already was pouring in from some of these schools! So it’s almost like these little sneak peeks will write themselves.
For example, we just learned that W. T. Jackson Elementary and Sutton Middle schools recently received the Excellence in International Education Award, presented recently by the Center for the Advancement and Study of International Education (CASIE) at the 2009 International Education Summit, hosted by the Carter Center. Jackson and Sutton were two of five schools to receive this honor.
