Last week, Mrs. Roesch’s fifth grade class had a visit from their Cultural Community Ambassador, Dr. Robert Gest, a retired Air Force Colonel.
Dr. Gest is a local resident of Charlottesville who visits their classroom each month to share African-American literature in the form of picture books with the students.
Additionally, he offers his personal insights into growing up in the 1940’s and 1950’s.
Students enjoy the read-aloud, especially when it is peppered with Dr. Gest’s real-life experiences as a child growing up during the Civil Rights movement. Check out this story about Dr. Gest's visits at Baker-Butler!
