Mrs. Cohen, mother of 1st grader Gabe, recently visited Mrs. Ray's classroom with their cat Harry. Mrs. Cohen read a book to the students about accepting others and it featured Harry (a hairless cat) as the main character. After the story and a discussion about appreciating and celebrating our diversity, the students were able to visit with Harry. Photograph above taken by 1st grader Maya Shoemaker.
