This past Friday, RCSE was treated to a Member Minute from Ambria Berksteiner where she shared with us the blueprint of her life! After all Rotary business was discussed and Happy dollars collected, Conni Reynolds introduced our speaker for the day, Roger Moss, who is the SCCPSS Board of Eduction President.
Roger began by saying that education provides a foundation and that he wants children to have a choice filled life. When kids can't read, they tend to act out. SCCPSS is utilizing the Science of Reading to help increase literacy in our school system. He encouraged everyone to be patient as it will take a little while for the program to work. The goal is that 95% of 3rd graders will be reading at level within 5 years. Literary is more than comprehending words. It also is about writing and communicating effectively. Roger concluded his presentation by saying at the end of the day, children need to feel like they belong.
