Students at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School recently participated in a read-aloud by award-winning author Duncan Tonatiuh, sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League in honor of Hispanic History Month. In a live virtual visit with TJL and other schools nationwide, Tonatiuh read excerpts from his books “Dear Primo” and “Separate Is Never Equal,” explored his craft as a writer and illustrator, and discussed his life growing up as both a citizen of Mexico and the United States.

“The event provided a wonderful connection for Hispanic Heritage Month and was a great way for everyone to come together and have some fun,” Principal Mary Williams said.
