The Spring Concert was held on Monday, May 6th in the Carl Sandburg auditorium. There were performances from the 3rd and 4th grade Orchestra, 3rd and 4th Grade Chorus, Schweitzer Band, and Kids Club Chorus. Kudos to Miss Agger, Miss Lackey, Mr. Stoneback, Ms. Tigh, and Mrs. Linda for their efforts to make the concert a success! Students did a wonderful job sharing their musical talents for their parents and the community.

Families came out to enjoy our Schweitzer Art Show on Wednesday, May 8th. A great big thank you to Mrs. Todd for making our hallways look beautiful with all the student art work. We are very proud of the creativity and hard work students put into their projects!

What is Title 1?

Title 1 Part A provides supplemental federal funds to ensure all students have fair, equal, and significant opportunities to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.

The program is focused on improving the academic achievement of students in schools with high concentrations of children from low-income families and is governed by statuary and regulatory requirements of Title I, Part A (ESEA).

Albert Schweitzer Elementary School is a Schoolwide Title 1 school. As such, our Title 1 funds and services can provide comprehensive strategies for improving the entire school so that every student achieves high levels of academic proficiency.
