Five Cobb County Schools Honored for Teaching Cursive Writing in 2025
Five exceptional elementary schools in Cobb County, Georgia, have been recognised for their commitment to teaching cursive alphabet. Powers Ferry Elementary, Davis, Garrison Mill, Keheley, and Pickett's Mill have been awarded 'The John Hancock Award' for their efforts in 2025.
In a time when technology dominates, these schools have ensured that the art of cursive remains alive. In 2016, only 14 states taught cursive writing in elementary schools. Now, that number has risen to 25, reflecting a growing appreciation for this skill.
Cursive writing helps students understand the uniqueness of their signature, a personal mark that remains standard despite digital advancements. Powers Ferry Elementary students have taken this a step further, writing the preamble in cursive, earning them a ribbon of distinction.
The recognition of these five schools highlights the importance of cursive writing in the digital age. Their dedication to teaching this skill ensures that students understand the value of their unique signature and the beauty of written expression.
