Mayor’s Top Apple Schools
Every 1 Reads Schools of Excellence
Mayor Jerry Abramson created the award in 2006 to honor Every 1 Reads schools of excellence.
To qualify, schools must have virtually all students reading at or above grade level (less than two percent novice readers) or have double-digit improvements in reading scores (reduction in number of novice readers).
“The Mayor’s Top Apple award is a great way to honor students, teachers and principals for the hard work they do each and everyday in the classroom that make the goals we set forward a real possibility,” said Dr. Berman.
The Mayor’s Top Apple Schools award is presented by Sullivan University System.
“We are proud to sponsor the Mayor’s Top Apple Schools award and applaud the accomplishments of the students, teachers and volunteer tutors,” said Glenn Sullivan, president of the Sullivan University System. “We hope these students will establish a lifelong love of learning and reading that will encourage them to pursue higher education.”
Each school will receive a banner, a glass apple handcrafted by artists from the Flame Run Gallery and bookmarks for each student.
A banner featuring all the winners is displayed at the C.B. Young Jr. Service Center, 3001 Crittenden Drive, near the fairgrounds. It will hang on the front of Louisville Metro Hall after the first of the year.
A complete list of winning schools follows:
