Academically, we have implemented “Thinking Maps” schoolwide for the last three years. We also have implemented the utilization of GLAD strategies school-wide. In Math, we are utilizing the Everyday Math curriculum. We also have 98 students that are provided reading interventions in our Helping One Student to Succeed (HOSTS) program. This program consists of 104 volunteers. Reading interventions were provided for grades 2–5. In one fourth grade class, we piloted a health program.
