Twenty-two students at Jefferson City High School have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievements on AP Exams.

Ashley Angle, a kindergarten teacher at Pioneer Trail Elementary, was recently awarded a $500 grant from the Missouri Retired Teachers Association to support her classroom's literacy activities. The money "will support literacy activities to be used during the guided reading block and allow structured practice of skills essential to becoming a fluent reader."

The Jefferson City News Tribune did a write-up about the grant which you can read here. #JCReads
