Bright Spot for Morningside

Morningside Elementary has become one of the first 12 schools in the nation recognized as a “Bright Spot School” by the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading. Supported by dozens of funders nationwide, the Campaign is a ten-year effort to increase the number of low-income children reading on grade level by the end of third grade. The Bright Spot Schools were identified in a recent announcement by Ralph Smith, Executive Vice President of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, who is spearheading the campaign. Morningside Elementary shares the honor with two other Texas schools, Loma Park in San Antonio and H.S. Thompson in Dallas. Click here to view the media release.
