NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University’s early childhood program, directed by Dr. Michelle Fazio-Brunson within the School of Education, teamed with Alpha Delta Kappa, a international organization for women educators, to gift 20 Easter baskets to a local women and children’s shelter. The baskets, candy and stuffed animals were donated by ADK with members also making sure each mother had a basket full of personal items along with Easter candy. The early childhood program donated early literacy bags filled with pencils, books, scissors, crayons, erasers and a host of other supplies. The early literacy bags are a part of their Cradle to College Pipeline initiative. ADK members are, seated from left, Nancy Brown and Linda Young. On the back row are Christi Lee, Dr. Christy Hornsby, Kathy Arnold, Susan Walker, Gay Dezendorf, Linda Renegar and Shirly Johnson.
Dr. Christy Hornsby represented NSU’s early childhood program when bringing literacy bags to the ADK meeting.
