Len Lastinger Elementary School

🖊️ Celebrating Excellence in Cursive Writing!

The Georgia Department of Education has named 188 schools across the state as 2024-2025 recipients of the John Hancock Student Signature Banner and Proficiency Ribbon — and we are proud to announce that three Tift County schools have earned this prestigious honor!

🎉 Congratulations to:
🏫 Annie Belle Clark Elementary
🏫 Len Lastinger Elementary
🏫 Omega Elementary

To receive this recognition, schools submitted a portfolio demonstrating that 90% or more of their students can write their name in cursive — a milestone that showcases dedication to a timeless skill.

This award celebrates elementary, middle, and high schools that go above and beyond in teaching cursive writing — a skill that not only strengthens fine motor development but also enhances literacy and helps students connect with historical texts in their original form.
