| Read Across America |
 The Read Across America campaign took place across the country
on Monday, March 3, 2008. Public figures visited schools and read to groups
of students. Congressman Barney Frank visited Pierce School to read
"What to do about Alice" by Barbara Kerley which was about the
rambunctious daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt.
Thanks goes to Joan Hamilton, our librarian, for assisting Rep. Frank while at Pierce, kindergarten teacher, Eowyn Daly for helping with the Read Across America program, and to the teacher's union president, Jody Curran for escorting the congressman to Pierce. |

In addition to the amazing 5th graders, the adult teams were also awesome. The winner of the Best Costume award went to "The Kookoo Birds & The Bees" represented proudly with lots of hairspray -- Elie Dunford, Marie
Green and Karin Weldon.
The congressman made the reading very lively as he gave students some
historical perspective about the president and the role of women during
the time of his presidency. Students asked some very good
questions. One girl asked if Alice joined the Suffragettes, the women
activists at the turn of the 20th century. Rep. Frank said that was a
great question and wasn't sure if she had but that Alice Roosevelt was a
great model for the cause of women during that time. Overall he was
impressed with our students and their thoughtful questions. The
students were also impressed with the congressman, particularly that he
had taken time out of his busy schedule to visit Pierce.
