It's August and I am still running and on track with a couple more weeks in Nebraska before hitting Iowa for runs through my parents' hometowns. I'll be very ahpy to get there and will definitely be sharing a view of the small farm town and the big city of Iowa.
Molly starts school tomorrow and our kids are just very glad it is not them starting tomorrow. She works year-round to prepare and grow as a teacher and each class benefits from her hard work. Here is an article from the school's website on a team Molly taught last year.
Three Eagles sophomores win History Fair
Everett Murrell, Jonathan Parnell and Lea Starling participated in the Chicago Metro History Fair through the Museumology Colloquium taught by Molly Myers. Their board entitled “Lindblom 1968” was unanimously chosen 1st place in the Illinois and was selected 14th in the nation at the National History Day Finals in College Park, Maryland. Each student won $5000 which was sponsored by the Association for the Student of African-American Life and History. The students’ project details the transformation that occurred in their school in the 1960s as the Supreme Court pressured the Chicago Public Schools to become more integrated in the wake of the 1954 Brown v. the Board of Education decision. Racial conflict broke out at Lindblom as increasing numbers of black students began to attend the predominantly-white school. Lindblom and the surrounding West Englewood neighborhood quickly shifted from predominantly white to predominantly black due to white flight. This year is Lindblom’s first participation in the History Fair.
