The Rapides Parish School Board announced that Raquel Bordelon, Librarian at Pineville Junior High, is the next recipient of the Believing in the Mission Award.
Bordelon has been working with students to increase their reading level during their P.E. time. She does this in addition to all of her other responsibilities as a librarian. What’s more is that she is the one who approached her principal with this idea.
“We are currently working on a plan to get more readers with Bordelon during RTI. She has even volunteered to work with students who are struggling readers over the summer,” Principal Mike Yoist said.
Bordelon has a passion for literacy and has a special gift in getting kids excited about reading.
