The Literacy Initiative, a part

luncheon in Winston-Salem on June
13 to increase awareness about the
literacy crisis and to recognize peo
ple who have promoted adult litera
cy.
Dr. David G. Brown, a provost
of Wake Forest University,
addressed the more than 250 partici
pants.
Statistics about illiteracy
should send shivers down the spines
of corporations in this country,"
Brown said. He suggested that
employers offer incentives like giv
ing workers time off to participate
in adult educational programs.
"Learners are the real champi
ons- those who step forward and
say " I want to learn."
Seven awards were presented at
the luncheon. Dovie Preston, age
70, received the student achieve
ment award. Earline Parmon accept
ed the agency achievement award
for LIFT (Learning Is Fun, Too).
Ann Gehlen, President of the
Forsyth Literacy Council, received
the leadership award.
Frank Dessell and Bess
Hollingsworth received community
service awards for their work as lit
eracy volunteers. R.J. Reynolds
Tobacco Company and Sara Lee
Corporation received awards for
their sponsorship of literacy pro
grams. ?
The Literacy Initiative was -
formed by the United Way's Com
munity Problem-Solving Commit
tee and the critical issues committee
of Leadership Winston -Salem. Jim
Ferrell is chairman of the initiative's
advisory board, and Sandra Pen
nington serves as executive director.
Local opportunities for learners
are found at Forsyth Technical
Community College, through the

Dr. John Schroeder, principal
of Fairview Elementary School in
High Point, was named 1991
North Carolina Wachovia Princi
pal of the Year.
Schroeder received the award
from L.M. Baker Jr., chief execu
tive officer of Wachovia Bank of
North Carolina, and Bob
Etheridge, North Carolina Super
intendent of Public Instruction.
Wachovia and the Department of
Public Instruction have co-spon
sored the awards "program since
1984.
Schroeder began his career in
education in 1968 as a teacher in
Asheville. In 1983 he was named
principal of Fairview, the oldest
and largest elementary school in
the High Point system. Fairview's
students come from the surround
ing neighborhood of predominant
'91 Wachovia Principal of the Year
ly minority and lower income fam
ilies.
Schroeder has been an advo
cate for his students to ensure that
they are given the same education
al opportunities as students attend
ing other elementary schools. His
doctoral dissertation on funding
for the High Point schools resulted
in changes in the way resources
are allocated.
Realizing that many students
coming into kindergarten were
already deficient in language
skills, Schroeder designed and
implemented an experience-based
developmental program for 3- and
4-year-olds. Fairview is now a
pilot site for the state's preschool
program. The school was also a
pilot site for IBM's "Write to
Read" program and houses aip
extensive computer lab.
