CAR Program and Award Ceremony

Blackford Elementary School

Pi Phis recognized 36 students from Blackford Elementary School's with their CAR awards on Thursday, March 29, 2012. Each chreceived a CAR medal and certificate of completion on this month long reading program which encourages children to read on theown every day and fill in a reading calendar. In support of Pi Phi's philanthropic focus on literacy, SJ Pi Phis invested nearly 229hours from January to March in reading with 4th graders at Blackford Elementary (a Title 1 school) on a one-on-one basis.

CAR is an initiative to support Pi Phi's literacy platform: Read. Lead. Achieve. and vision: Pi Phi leads the way to a more literasociety. It provides great value for students struggling to read, promotes literacy, and helps build young readers confidence ancritical literacy skills. The program supplements reading activities already provided in the public schools and its particularly beneficfor Title 1 schools that have a high ratio of low-income students requiring additional support with reading. Pi Phis involvement withe CAR targets young readers who are at a critical juncture for developing good reading skills and instills a life-long love for readin
