Shadow Forest fifth-grader captures attention at board meeting
Shadow Forest fifth-grader captures attention and respect at board meeting
A fifth-grade elementary student captured the hearts and minds of the Humble ISD board of trustees and a standing room-only audience as she pleaded her case for more art classes in 11 of district’s elementary schools. At the April 9 Humble ISD board meeting, board President Dr. Charles Cunningham invited Charlotte Moffett to come forward to make her requested public comment. The well-composed fifth-grade student came to the podium that seemed nearly her height. She adjusted the microphone from above her head to a more proper position and began to speak. The room immediately became silent as her firm voice was both eloquent and passionate about her favorite subject, art classes.
