Black History Month
Principal's Read Aloud
In 1848, Mary Walker was born into slavery. At age 15, she was freed, and by age 20, she was married and had her first child. By age 68, she had worked numerous jobs, including cooking, cleaning, babysitting, and selling sandwiches to raise money for her church. At 114, she was the last remaining member of her family...and at 116, she learned to read!
This inspirational story of Mary Walker, a woman whose long life spanned from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement, and who--with perseverance and dedication--proves that you're never too old to learn.
February Spirit Week: 2/13-2/16

Hi! My name is Zoe Flowers, and I am a new teacher here at Westmoreland. I recently graduated from Stockton University in May and am in my first-year teaching! I have a strong passion for reading and writing. Outside of being a teacher, I love to go hiking, shopping, reading, and spending time with my two dogs - Chewbacca and Brooklyn. I look forward to the rest of the school year at Westmoreland and getting to know everyone, making so many memories!
