This means regardless of the student's economic background or race, they are each improving. We are working on whatever each student needs. Some need help with math, reading, writing, and others need food.
Students walking into their classrooms at Falling Water Elementary School Tuesday morning were greeted with blue ribbons and balloons representing the school’s prestigious new distinction.
The elementary school, slated to be closed at the end of this school year, was designated a 2015 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education.
Just 285 public schools nationwide received the distinction, and only six public schools in Tennessee made the list.
Principal Lea Ann Burk credits the school’s success to her dedicated staff.
