In celebration of Black History Month, my colleagues of
Reading Is Fundamental of Northern Virginia and myself have been invited to
Charles R. Drew Elementary School, Arlington, Virginia to read to
students.
I had the privilege of sharing
a book about Rosa Parks, Writer and Activist, with Fourth Graders at Drew
Elementary. These Fourth-Grade students
were so engaged in our discussion about Rosa Parks and celebrating the lives of
the many Black Americans that have contributed so much to our nation. My very own Fifth Grade Students of the
Florida State University Developmental School and myself, had the honor of
meeting Rosa Parks in 1994. Meeting Mrs.
Parks while teaching at FSU in Tallahassee, Florida will remain a vivid memory
for me, for years to come.
Most grateful,
