On Saturday, May 4, two Westerville City Schools teachers presented at a local National Council of Teachers of English conference called Build Your Stack-Celebrate Your Love of Books. Lee Rutherford, a second grade educator at Cherrington Elementary, and Kari Tucker, a fourth-grade teacher at Robert Frost, talked about culturally diverse literature for elementary classroom libraries. They spoke eloquently about the power and pleasure of reading about the myriad of ethnicities represented throughout the Westerville Community. Their talk was well received by those who attended.
