Kathy
Price, noted children's author, brought her musical message
of diversity to students in Ripley. St. Michaels, Ripley and
Russellville Elementary pre-school and elementary students learned
the importance of having good character, being honest and sticking
together. Ms. Price is a published poet, musician and an early
music specialist in Manhattan and Brooklyn nursery schools.
She is also a storyteller who presents Afro-Caribbean folklore,
song and games in a performance called "Jambo World of
Music for Children" in libraries all around New York City
where she lives. The Bourbon Street Musicians is her first book
for children and she delighted the children in our area with
the story. The book was illustrated by Andrew Glass. Her performance
and message was paid for by the Ripley Friends of the Library
and Learn and Serve America. Learn and Serve America strives
to teach students in grades P-12 the importance of service learning,
character education and career development. Three of Ms. Price's
books were purchased by Learn and Serve America and will be
placed at the Union Township Library, The Ripley Elementary
Library and St. Michael's Library.
