Robert Shetterly, author of the portrait series, "Americans Who Tell the Truth" visited our school on Thursday, December 17. He is pictured here speaking to some students in 3rd grade about Mohammed Ali. (These 3rd graders studied his portraits and specifically requested that he bring in Mohammed Ali). Mr. Shetterly also spoke about Pete Seeger. Mr. Barter brought in his banjo and led students in singing some of Pete Seeger's songs.

Students in 5th grade studied his portraits and wrote written responses to Mr. Shetterly about their learning. Some of their writings can be viewed under the "Artist's Journal" at Robert Shetterly's website: <http://www.americanswhotellthetruth.org>
