The week of February 26, Author Jerry Pallotta enriched the literacy experiences of kindergarten through fifth grade students in Miamisburg City Schools, thanks to the year-long planning and preparation of district literacy coaches. Throughout the week, Jerry gave student and staff presentations at each elementary school, engaged teachers in a professional learning session on engaging reluctant readers and writers, and will present at an evening family literacy event. Jerry, author of over 60 books including the Who Would Win series, math books, and numerous alphabet books, discusses writing, researching, working with illustrators, designing, editing and publishing books all in a kid-friendly way that keeps kids thinking, asking, interacting, and hopefully applying the creative ideas that are shared in their own personal writing.

The College Promise Program provides a life changing opportunity for Montgomery County students annually. These students are identified and selected during their 8th grade year. Each student is supported through high school by a caring adult mentor who meets with them weekly for 40 to 60 minutes at their school and through programming offered by the College Promise Program and their college and university partners. 

After completing graduation requirements and meeting the entrance requirements for Sinclair, Wright State University, Central State University, Miami University, Denison University, Kettering College, or the University of Dayton, the selected students will be awarded scholarships. The scholarship will support most of the four years of the college tuition.

The Miamisburg City School District was privileged to have three students from the Miamisburg Middle School selected for this program. Abagail Brunner, Shahd Mohamed and Exon Vasquez-Serrano were chosen from our district to receive this incredible opportunity.
