February 9, 2000
Lois Magnus, a teacher at Madison Middle School, will receive the
Norma Bossard Award during a ceremony on Friday, Feb. 11, from 8:30-9
a.m., at Miami-Dade Community College's Wolfson Campus, 300 N.E. 2
Ave.
Sponsored by the district's Division of Language Arts/Reading and the
Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment, the award is
named in honor of the late Norma B. Bossard, who headed the
district's language arts and reading programs until her death last
June. 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.
Magnus, who will receive a $500 award from the Melissa Institute,
exemplifies Ms. Bossard's commitment to children, dedication to
literacy, and actions that support the motto, “A book in every
child's hands.”
For further information, contact Dr. Alicia Moreyra, Division of
Language Arts and Reading, at 305-995-1914.
