Karigon received a grant for $5,000 for their Literacy Library. The grant was submitted by Mary Murphy. Two years ago she began to establish a Karigon Literacy Library to help students move sequentially through a process of improving their literacy skills. The Literacy Library provides intervention materials for students in the early grades because students who are reading below grade level after third grade usually experience increased difficulty with reading material in all subjects.  Children use the books to gain literacy skills, enabling them to achieve academic success, becoming lifelong learners, and strengthen self-esteem. 

Anthony M. Suriano is the Store Manager of the Clifton Park, Dollar General Store, Mary Murphy; AIS teacher, Greg Wing; Karigon Principal


arrow bullet In an effort to ensure consistent practices and protocols across our elementary schools, the district has developed an elementary handbook for students and parents and a volunteer handbook.
