In the Sunday Feb. 17 issue of the Winston-Salem Journal, reporter Arika Herron writes about the school district meeting meeting all three goals set by N.C. Department of Public Instruction for its Limited English Proficient (LEP) students.

It was the only large district to do so last year.

"In there districts with large number of LEP students, it's just really difficult to make those  goals," David Sisk, the Title III/LEP program manager, told Herron.

Herron spent time in Gabriela Camacho's first-grade class at Old Town Elementary School. "It empowers the students to have someone who can understand and communicate with you," Camacho told Herron.

Journal photographer Andrew Dye took the photographs. For the full story go to Winston-Salem Journal
