Yesterday,
I had a wonderful day with the children at Madie
Ives Community Elementary School. I and a group of fathers were invited to
be a part of Fathers in Education Day in
which fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers and male role models and mentors
are invited to come in to local schools to read, tell stories, share a hobby,
talk about their job and other activities.
Before I read from Grandpa Sydney’s Anancy Stories,
I talked about the origins of Anancy stories, bullying, and what the students
should do if they ever became the victim of a bully. For homework, they signed
a pledge.
I want to thank Ms. Brinson, the
principal of Madie Ives Community Elementary School; Ms.
Fernandez, the counselor, and, of course, Mrs. Ferro-Philp and her students for
inviting me to be a part of such an
uplifting day.
