Join the Reinvent South Stockton Education Committee Tuesday, Janaury 19 at 6pm at Maya Angelou Library, 2324 Pock Lane, as they launch a project to bring talented local professionals into Stockton's classrooms and provide students direct access to engaging lessons through community knowledge.
The Local Legends project is intended to challenge perceptions of Stockton, make students feel pride and interest in accomplishments of fellow Stocktonians, help students learn Stockton’s place in the world and their place in Stockton, elevate student levels of achievement by expecting more and providing additional tools for teachers, showing directions students can go by what others have done, and challenging students to imagine greater potential in their own abilities improving the future of Stockton through greater student success.
After serveral months of accepting applications, we are excited to introduce the first corps of community members - artists, entrepreneurs, business professionals, and more - who are willing to participate in this first-of-a-kind directory of community assets.
This is open and free to the public to attend. The Maya Angelou Southeast Branch Library is located at 2324 Pock Lane in Stockton, CA. The reception begins at 6pm.
