The ‘No Child Left Behind”-Blue Ribbon Award for academic excellence has been awarded to Cherry Creek North’s 320-pupil Bromwell Elementary School. This prestigious designation, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, acknowledges those who achieve and maintain a place in the top 10% academically, over a five year period.

Principal Jon Wolfer proudly points out that, “Over the past 26 years the program has honored more than 5,800 of American’s most successful schools, and now Bromwell is one of them.”

Teachers say making learning fun and teaching in small groups are keys to helping children learn. But they add that parents reading to their children in the evenings, preparing breakfasts, and getting to school on time further the learning process.

Bromwell Elementary’s test scores in reading, writing and arithmetic placed them in top positions at both the state and national level.
