Michelle Obama at Wayne State

One of our students was able to see and listen to Michelle Obama's speech yesterday at Wayne State. After she told us about it, we watched parts of it as a class. The students were really interested in her message about staying in school, doing your best, and being a role model to others. We had such a great conversation about it, and later in the day I even overheard students saying, "Obama wants us to be good in school." It made me smile!

Please take a few minutes to watch the video at home with your student. It is a great conversation starter and very moving!
