Houston reads a passage to GECS students
Author Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, acclaimed author of Farewell to Manzanar and other books, visited our program to read some of her work, meet students, and answer questions about her life as a writer and her childhood experiences of the Japanese-American Internment. We managed to get all the students from both the Middle and High School programs into our "Great Hall," and had a terrific time talking with Mrs. Houston about her life and work.
Thanks to Mount Shasta Public Library's Lori Crockett (also a GECS parent!) and Redding Public Library's Megan Owens for helping set up this amazing event, and for facilitating the donation of a class set of Farewell to Manzanar to our program.
