Althea Gibson: The Story of Tennis’ Fleet-Of-Foot Girl
By Megan Reid
A spirited picture book biography about Althea Gibson, the first black Wimbledon, French, and U.S. Open tennis champion, from debut author Megan Reid and Coretta Scott King Honor–winning illustrator Laura Freeman. Althea Gibson: The Story of Tennis’ Fleet-of-Foot Girl chronicles this trailblazing athlete’s journey—and the talent, force of spirit, and energy that made it possible for her to break barriers and ascend to the top of the tennis world.
Social Emotional Activities
Let your worries go with the Worry Jar
The Worry Jar is an activity that helps students mindfully identify their worries and give themselves permission to shift their focus away from them for a while. “It is like storing them for safe keeping,” says clinical psychologist Dr. Stephanie Margolese. “Just knowing that their worries are contained in the jar can free your child from having to replay them in their minds.”
Ask students to write down their worries and anxieties on a piece of paper. If they’re too young to write, students can tell you their worries and you can write them down. It helps if caretakers plays along as well by writing down their own worries. Next, have students fold up their paper and put it in the jar while saying: “I can let this worry go for now.” Store the worry jar out of sight.
Parent Pick Up Reminder
For students that are in K or 1, please use the parent pick up lanes. Kindergarten is the lane closest to the sidewalk. Refrain from parking and getting out of your vehicle. We have had many parents signaling students from the west side of the parking lot sidewalk area. This is a safety issue. We do not have crosswalk coverage on that side of the lot, there is moving traffic, and we cannot keep a visual on students to ensure they are being picked up by the appropriate adult. We also have students walking to the buses from Building B along this sidewalk and need to keep the sidewalk clear for them.
We have also had issues with parking in the ditch along the side of 199th. This is causing damage to the school property, is becoming a traffic hazard, and with our wet weather has caused vehicles to get stuck in the mud. We are not able to assist in removing any vehicle that gets stuck in the ditch.
Thank you for helping to keep South Ridge a safe campus for our students.
