Consulate of Mexico visits Ockerman Elementary
On May 10th, Consul Juan Manuel Solana, Consulate of Mexico, Indianapolis, visited Ockerman Elementary to present a Spanish collection of books to the students and staff for their library. The collection included books that are traditionally read by students in Mexico at the elementary grade levels. This donation was initiated by a former student of Ockerman Middle and graduate of Boone County High School, who now attends Northern Kentucky University. Through her involvement with the Latino Student Affairs Office, she was able to help make this generous donation possible.
Consul Solana told a group of Latino students and parents, "These books are meant to be read, used, played with, and not left on a shelf". He encouraged the students to learn as many languages as possible in their lifetime.
