The mission of the ASBA Black Cau- cus is to improve opportunities and outcomes for students of color, and providing Arizona students access to such a powerful message is one way we can support this important work. The ASBA Black Caucus also hopes teachers will use the book to open the door to conversations about the kind of hero each child in your classroom has the potential to be for someone else, now and throughout their lives, in ways large and small. In the words of Ms. Tubman, "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." The teacher winners of the book drawing are: Evelyn Kelley of Westwind Elemen- tary School in the Pendergast School District Jonna Mastropasqua of CAPE School – Jail in the Pima Accom- modation District Alexis Aguirre of Encanto School in the Osborn School District Christina Carter of Ehren- berg Elementary School in the Quartzsite School District Michele Fournier of San Fernando Elementary School in San Fernando Elementary School District #35 Rex Foster of Independence High School in Glendale Union High School District Michael Plutschuck of Chaparral Elementary School in Washington Elementary School District Vanessa Arredondo of Salome Ele- mentary School in Salome Consoli- dated Elementary School District Hi Jolly Daze Parade planned for Jan. 11 The Annual Hi Jolly Daze Parade is planned for Saturday, January 11th, 2020.
