Please help us transition from a "School in Need of Improvement" to a "Blue Ribbon School". I teach 5th grade at a high need inner-city school and love it! I won't make excuses about why we were designated as a School in Need of Improvement, however with the return of a former principal this year we are going to do everything we can not just to get off of that list, but to earn the distinction of Blue Ribbon School. It's a lofty goal, but we're thinking big because our students and families deserve it.
