The CEI Reading Lab of Post Elementary was recently awarded "Exemplary Lab" by Creative Education Institute! This is the eighth year in a row to receive this award.

CEI Consultant, Doug Morrow, presented CEI facilitators with the CEI Lab's Exemplary Award for 2004-2005.

My name is Peggy Graves. I am the facilitator for the CEI Reading Lab at Post Elementary School. This will be my 24th year to teach. I really enjoy the Reading Lab. I am able to meet and work with many of our students. It is a joy to see them learn to read!

I am married to Gary Graves. We have four children. Ryan and his wife, Amanda, live in Carrollton. Ryan and Amanda are the parents of our first grandson, William. Paige is married to Mark. They are parents to my beautiful granddaughter, Sophia Bella. Aaron works for Gary's company and is attending Texas Tech University. Jake is working for a doctor in Lubbock.

I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Texas Tech University. I am also a Certified Irlen Screener for Post ISD.


My hobbies and interests include reading, swimming, going to the lake, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.
