Kelloggsville recognizes 22 students with Seal of Biliteracy
Summary
Kelloggsville Public Schools honored 22 high school students with the Seal of Biliteracy for proficiency in English and an additional language; the board acknowledged their achievement during its March 10 meeting.
The Kelloggsville Board of Education on March 10 recognized 22 high school students who earned the Seal of Biliteracy, an honor for students who demonstrate proficiency in English and at least one other world language.
The district "takes great pride in recognizing the following students," the board record states, and listed each recipient by name. The recognition highlights multilingual proficiency that can benefit students in college and employment, the board said.
Why it matters: The Seal of Biliteracy is intended to encourage language study, celebrate students' native and heritage languages and provide employers and colleges a credential indicating advanced language skills.
The ceremony was brief and was one of several student-centered items on the agenda; board members also used the meeting to thank retiring staff and note upcoming family engagement events.
