OABCIG Community School District

The 2023 Presidential Academic Awards were given out to deserving 5th graders at Awards Day, Wednesday morning, May 24, at the OABCIG Ida Grove Elementary Gymnasium. There are two types of Presidential Awards. The Award for Educational Excellence is based on performance on math and/or reading on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) and grade point average. The Award for Educational Achievement is awarded to students who display outstanding educational improvement, commitment or intellectual development in their academic subjects, but do not meet the Excellence criteria. One achievement winner was selected from each 5th grade classroom. Presidential awards may be given as students exit elementary, middle school, and high school. Each award includes a certificate with the signatures of President Joseph Biden, the Secretary of Education, and OABCIG Ida Grove Principal Alan Henderson, and a pin that is sponsored by the OABCIG School District.
