During the first quarter, our 7th Grade Service Learning Project benefited the Bright Start! Dyslexia Initiative, a program sponsored by one of our business partners, Nemours Children's Clinic. Our students collected nearly 450 new children's books to be used with dyslexic pre-schoolers in the Bright Start program. Part of our students' total experience included learning about dyslexia. Pictured (from left to right) are Dr. Laura Bailet, Executive Director of Nemours BrightStart! Dyslexia Initiative; Dr. Kelly Coker-Daniel, principal of Julia Landon College Preparatory and Leadership Development School; Mrs. Linda Hubbard, intensive reading teacher at Julia Landon; and Mrs. Sara Bravo, assistant principal for curriculum at Julia Landon. Following Dr. Bailet's presentation, students were given the opportunity to tour the BrightStart mobile classroom unit. The work being done by Dr. Bailet and her staff is just one more example of leadership by example.Friday, October 24, 2008
