(NewsDakota.com)  The Carrington Elementary School received the National Blue Ribbon School Award on November 15th in Washington, D.C.  Principal Juanita Short and Lori Cook were present to receive the award.  Carrington Elementary has never received the award in its history.  The only other school to be awarded with a blue ribbon in the State of North Dakota, was Thompson Public Schools.

The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private elementary, middle and high schools where students perform at very high levels or where significant improvements are being made in students’ levels of academic achievement. Since 1982, the U.S. Department of Education’s National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has honored America’s most successful public and private elementary, middle, and high schools. A National Blue Ribbon Schools flag waving overhead has become a trademark of excellence, a symbol of quality recognized by everyone from parents to policy-makers in thousands of communities. In its 30 year history, the U. S. Department of Education has bestowed this coveted award on nearly 7,000 of America’s schools.  (courtesy: U.S. Department of Education)

Principal Juanita Short and Staff would like to invite you to the Award Celebration in Carrington tomorrow night (Nov. 27th) at 7pm at the Carrington Elementary School Gymnasium.  Everyone is welcome to attend.
