Governor Markell Visits Maclary Elementary School

Two Christina School District elementary schools, R. Elisabeth Maclary Elementary School and Joseph M. McVey Elementary School have been named Title I Distinguished Schools by the Delaware Secretary of Education and the Delaware Title I Office. Delaware recognizes schools in the state that have used their resources to meet the needs of children. The purpose of the Delaware Title I Distinguished Schools Recognition program is to identify schools that are taking extra steps to ensure that all have access to effective instructional strategies and challenging academic content. The award also recognizes that a school has demonstrated success in ensuring that all children, particularly those who have educational or social challenges, make significant progress towards learning that content, and ultimately succeeding in school.

On January 29, Governor Jack Markell and Secretary of Education Dr. Lillian Lowery visited Maclary Elementary School in Newark to present them a certificate and banner designating their 2010 State Title I Distinguished Honoree status.  The award was presented to Maclary Principal Meg Mason, staff and several students.
