Yesterday, we were fortunate to have author Jeannette Walls visit the Academy and stop by the library for a book signing and luncheon. Ms. Walls spoke to the community about her best-selling memoir, The Glass Castle. Many of the students clearly connected with the message Ms. Walls was sharing as a large group stopped her in the hall of the library to speak with her and share their own stories. It was an inspiring day filled with many important messages including the importance of respect for others, the power of education and reading, and while following our dreams, still remaining true to ourselves.
