The Clayton County Public Schools Elementary English Language Arts Department recently hosted the Elite Literacy Experience at the CCPS Performing Arts Center.
The Jan. 25 event featured author Raquel Horn as she brought her book “Dusko Goes to Space” to life immersing the audience of more 1,500 students and faculty in a world of literature and music.
Before the theatrical performance of her book, Horn joined the students in reciting positive affirmations, encouraging the students to dream big in their pursuit of their aspirations.
Horn and her band of RockStars then treated the students to original live music.
As the program came to a close, Horn invited her husband, Damon Dash, to the stage to deliver words of inspiration to the students emphasizing the importance of fearlessly pursuing one’s dreams.
