Just back from Roxhill Elementary School, where the Monday morning assembly included a special celebration for librarian Pat Bliquez, who – as reported here a week and a half ago – is a Golden Apple Award winner. Our video above includes a special tribute led by principal Carmela Dellino and head teacher Christopher Robert – plus a song from the students. The formal award presentation for Bliquez is yet to come – the Golden Apple Awards are presented by KCTS. Meantime, this morning’s assembly also celebrated ongoing Walk to School Month, with a special guest:
“Giant Chicken” (who, we have it on good authority, is actually a high-ranking member of the Roxhill team, but we’ll never tell) also demonstrated other safe walking tips like looking both ways. This Friday, the school plans special walking-home activities – even kids who take the buses will participate; the buses will be at a nearby park, so students will get some exercise walking over to board them.
