Roots and Wings

🎉📚 Today marks the last day of school for Palm Beach County public schools, and we couldn't be prouder of our amazing partner schools! 💚

This year, Roots and Wings partnered with 20 Title I public elementary schools through Project UpLift, and we've just wrapped up our final end-of-year Student Success Celebrations! 🎓✨

Today we're sharing photos from our celebrations at Crosspointe Elementary School and Lantana Elementary School! 📸 🤩

As always, we celebrated the incredible reading gains made by our Project UpLift students! 📖🌟 Students who achieved significant reading growth earned silver and gold medals 🥈🥇, and those with perfect attendance received bright blue Project UpLift T-shirts! 👕💙

We are so proud of our hardworking students, dedicated Literacy Coordinators, supportive principals, and the outstanding staff at each of our partner schools. Together, you're making a lasting difference in the lives of young readers every day. 💚💙💚

Wishing all of our students, families, educators, and supporters a wonderful summer filled with fun, adventure, and plenty of reading! ☀️📚😎

HAPPY SUMMER AND HAPPY READING! 🎉📖💙

Today’s End of Year Celebration at Jupiter Elementary School PBC was truly inspiring! 📚✨

Roots and Wings was proud to see every Project UpLift tutor and our fabulous Project UpLift Literacy Coordinator, Lucia Rudd, all wearing their Project UpLift shirts and showing what it means to support students and celebrate success together. 💙🎉

It was clear throughout the event that “showing up” matters at Jupiter Elementary, as so many students were recognized for earning perfect attendance 👏🏽🏅for the second time this school year!

We were especially proud of Ms. Springfield’s Project UpLift class, where every single student earned perfect attendance! 🎊 What an amazing accomplishment, reflecting their commitment and determination.

The excitement in the room was contagious as students cheered for themselves and one another while receiving silver and gold medals for their reading gains this year. 🥈🥇One lucky student not only earned a silver medal for reading growth, but also won a Dell Chromebook during the free raffle!

Congratulations to the outstanding students, teachers, staff, and administration at Jupiter Elementary for an incredible year. 🍎✨

Roots and Wings is honored to partner with a school community that values dedication, encouragement, and student success at every step! ❤️ Thank you to all the supporters of Jupiter Elementary, including our friends at the JL Cares Foundation and Admirals Cove Foundation, for being class sponsors!

This Memorial Day, Roots and Wings honors the service members who gave their lives for our country. We're grateful for the freedoms their sacrifice protects — including the chance for every child to learn and grow. 🇺🇸

🎉📚 What an incredible end-of-year Student Success Celebration at Boca Raton Elementary School! 🏅✨

Roots and Wings is so proud of our Project UpLift students and the amazing literacy growth they achieved this year! Principal Elfe shared that Boca Raton Elementary experienced their greatest reading growth this year - and we were thrilled to celebrate the role that Project UpLift played in this success! ❤️

Almost every Project UpLift student earned a medal this year for meeting their iReady growth or stretch goals! 🥈🥇 These students worked so hard all year long, and their determination truly paid off.

⭐ Most third-grade students who started the year at Level 1 moved to Level 3, showing strong mastery of their literacy skills. Other students who were already performing at Level 2 advanced all the way to Level 4! 📖👏

Seeing our students proudly wear their Perfect Attendance T-shirts and medals in celebration of their accomplishments was absolutely heartwarming. Their confidence, joy, and pride lit up the room - and so did the smiles of their teachers, families, tutors, and school leaders. 💙

We are incredibly proud of every single student for their perseverance, growth, and hard work this year! 🌟
