M-DCPS READING PROJECT TO PUT ‘BOOK IN EVERY CHILD’S HANDS’ IN MEMORY OF LATE ADMINISTRATOR

CONTACT: Dr. Henry C. Fraind
305-995-1206

December 10, 1999


As part of the school system's "Just Read" campaign, the Division of Language Arts/Reading will hold a ceremony at 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 13, in honor of the late Norma B. Bossard to donate hundreds of books to children at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Diagnostic Treatment Center, 1611 N.W. 12 Ave.

Ms. Bossard, who died of cancer last June, headed the district's language arts and reading programs. It was her dream to put a book in every child's hand so not only would they learn to read, but also love to read.

For further information, contact Alicia Moreyra, District Director, Division of Language Arts/Reading, at 305-995-1949.
