Today WPES kicked off One School One Book! This year's book selection is Fenway & Hattie by Victoria J. Coe. Mrs.Farmer, Ms.Long, and Mrs.Massok passed out books for this excciting event!
The "One School, One Book" community-building event is a program designed to foster a culture of reading and create a sense of community within a school or educational institution. The basic idea behind this initiative is to select a single book that every member of the school community—students, teachers, administrators, and even parents—is encouraged to read simultaneously.
The 3rd grade students capstone their Social Studies learning of famous African Americans by taking a field trip to the Richmond African American Museum. The students were able to make meaningful connections to individuals that they selected to learn more about as part of their biography research project. They even uncovered some hometown history as West Point Public Schools embarked on desegregation in 1953.

The Specials Team at WPES, Mrs. Tasheia Dokes and the family of Billy Graham, the first black Marvel comic book artist, collaborated to educate students about the history of comics and Graham’s influential presence with his amazing artwork and screenplays.

Thank you to the Graham family for helping our students dream big and allowing WPES to be a part of your story with behind the scene glances of a comic book legend with local roots.
