Officials at the national chapter of Kappa Delta Pi said there were several projects that made the MSU branch worthy of an Achieving Chapter Excellence award. Particularly, organizers took special notice of the group's Literacy Alive! project. The partnership is an initiative the chapter has carried out for several years, members of the MSU chapter said. This year's work took place at MacDonald Middle School in East Lansing.
Specifically, the month-long project ran alongside the state Department of Education's March Is Reading Month! activities, and gave foreign-language students the opportunity to receive books to assist with their English-language classes. More than about 150 books were given to both the classroom and its students, something which the children appreciated, said Sheila Frederixon, a recent MSU College of Education graduate and the chapter's outgoing vice president. In the future, Frederixon said that partnership will continue.
