Play In A Book

It was amazing to be visited in my home by a former student. Oluranti participated in Play In A Book at Brennemann in her 5th-8th grade years, 2013-2016. She told me she looked me up nearly 10 years later because she ran across one of our books and she wanted us to know how much Play In A Book meant to her. Now she works for the 46th ward. Wow. I've never had anything like this happen before and it reminded me that the work we do in Chicago Public Schools supporting literacy through drama really is making a difference.
