AVID Guest Speaker – Author Jean Wright “Sew Sister” Visits Chester A. Moore

As an AVID School, Chester A. Moore Elementary teaches students that they can be whatever they want in life – with the right combination of effort and motivation.  Ms. Jean Wright helped bring home that message when she spoke to our students last Friday.  In two assemblies, she read aloud a new biography about her life as a NASA seamstress entitled, “Sew Sister: The Untold Story of Jean Wright and NASA’s Seamstresses” by Elise Matich.  Thanks, Ms. Wright, for inspiring our young explorers to shoot for the stars in whatever they wish to become!
