Five Savannah schools to be honored for cursive proficiency

Georgia’s state superintendent is scheduled to honor five Savannah schools on Oct. 2 for proficiency in cursive writing.

The planned recognition

The recognition involves five schools in Savannah. The schools are being honored for reaching proficiency in cursive writing, placing the focus of the event on student achievement in handwriting.

The event is scheduled for Oct. 2. The announcement does not identify a start time or location, and it does not name the five schools.

What the honor recognizes

The honor is tied specifically to proficiency in cursive writing. The state superintendent will recognize the schools as a group, rather than announcing an individual student award in the information available for this event.

No separate award categories, scoring standards or student counts are identified. The announcement also does not state whether the schools will receive certificates, plaques or another form of recognition.

Savannah schools involved

Five Savannah schools are included in the Oct. 2 recognition. Their names have not been published with the event details here, so families and residents will need the event announcement or an official state education notice for the full list.

The recognition gives the schools a place in a statewide education event centered on cursive writing proficiency. The event’s details identify Savannah as the location connected to the honored schools, but they do not provide additional information about the schools’ grades, enrollment or programs.

What to watch on Oct. 2

The main items to watch are the names of the five schools, the event location and any remarks from the state superintendent about cursive writing instruction. Official details may also clarify how proficiency was measured and what recognition each school will receive.
