The Oaks Children's Academy, West Ashley

A huge thank you to @st.andrews_firefighters at Engine #3 for taking time out of their day to give our school a lesson on #firesafety ! It’s not easy to keep a rambunctious crew of 1-5 year olds engaged but
C. Berkel was a pro! His crew were also wonderful, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Richardson and “Tom Kat!” Thank you again! These kiddos couldn’t stop talking about your visit! 👨‍🚒🚒

The final book of our #blackhistorymonth storybook collection is…

“Mae Among the Stars”
By: Rosa Ahmed

“Mae Among the stars” is Inspired by the life of the first African American woman to travel in space, Mae Jemison.

When Little Mae was a child, she dreamed of dancing in space. She imagined herself surrounded by billions of stars, floating, gliding, and discovering.

She wanted to be an astronaut.

Her mom told her, “If you believe it, and work hard for it, anything is possible.”

Little Mae’s curiosity, intelligence, and determination, matched with her parents’ encouraging words, paved the way for her success at NASA as the first African American woman to travel in space.

The leaders in this book may be little, but they all did something big and amazing, inspiring generations to come.
