2024 African American Read-In engages, empowers, educates community
We want to walk with each other towards equity and civility and justice and kindness. - Peter Ferguson
One of Jaztus’ biggest goals for the 2024 African American Read-In was to deliver eloquent lines during his group’s presentation.
“I really do strive for a combination, because I don’t want us to be hidden figures,” Ferguson said. “We shouldn’t be hidden figures.”
Jaztus, a fifth-grade student at Belmont Elementary School, beamed as he and other members of the Belmont Community Scholars made that happen.
Bryant joined many people who read poetry, quotes and excerpts from books. Presenters included LPS staff and several community members from a variety of industries ranging from higher education to the military.
“It makes you feel great,” he said. “It makes you feel like you’re in the right place and you always will.” Students and adults from across Lincoln wore similar expressions during the 11th-annual event. Dozens of people came to the Steve Joel District Leadership Center to hear inspirational speeches, poetry, songs and quotes. They celebrated the rich contributions African Americans have made in literature and fine arts. Ten members of the Belmont Community Scholars group delivered one of the day’s highlights with a performance of “Justice Is.” Jaztus said having a chance to take part in the read-in was a memorable experience in his life. Peter Ferguson, coordinator of culture, inclusion and scholar development at Lincoln Public Schools, said he was pleased to see a wide range of people participate. The read-in was a shared effort between LPS and Lincoln City Libraries (LCL). William Bryant, student advocate for the African American community at LPS, and Ferguson organized the event alongside city and school library staff members.
Singing was also prominently featured. Northwest High School students Imari and Dacia wowed the crowd with a vocal performance from “The Color Purple,” and everyone stood as Lincoln resident Keyara Taylor delivered “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Tresa Wilson said she was excited to take part in the read-in for the first time. Wilson serves as the special education coordinator at Southeast High School. She has taught in elementary, middle and high schools for 28 years and has helped many groups across the United States. She said it was important to show others the value of education in their lives. “Education opened wide doors for me to go places and do things I never thought I would do,” Wilson said. “It all started with reading and just learning.” LPS Director of Library Services Chris Haeffner told the audience the read-in symbolized the fact that “stories matter.” Wilson shared how Olympic sprinting champion
Wilma Rudolph had inspired her during her childhood. “Stories help us define ourselves and help define the world around us,” Haeffner said. Ferguson said hearing stories from LPS students enriched the entire event. He said their role is “absolutely essential” for the read-in each year. “To talk about our history and talk about Black history and talk about the history of the United States and exclude young people and marginalize them? You’re doing a tremendous disservice,” Ferguson said. “Because they have been instrumental not only in the past but in the present, and they are definitely instrumental in the future.” Wilson and Ferguson also said it was critical for libraries to include items from all backgrounds and perspectives. LPS Department of Library Services provides both print and digital versions of the MOSAIC multicultural book collection for students in every grade. LCL also features a wide variety of authors on shelves across the city. “When you don’t have representation, kids start to think, ‘Well, there’s nobody like me,’” Wilson said. “When they do see it, it’s ‘Oh, there is somebody like me. I can learn about this person, this person. There’s a lot of people that are out there that I can learn about in history.’ It gives them a sense of, ‘Okay, I can do this. I’m not the only one.’”
“We can have Jaztus go to a library or bookstore and see himself,” Ferguson said. “He can go in a classroom and see himself. And not just see himself but be himself and learn about himself and know that everyone is valued.” Ferguson hoped the read-in would promote many positive conversations throughout Lincoln in the days and months to follow. “That is my call to act,” Ferguson said. “We want to walk with each other towards equity and civility and justice and kindness.”

Zeman students enjoy reading adventures in refurbished library Zeman Elementary School’s library has always been a place where students can map out grand literary adventures word by word with their books. They can now trek on their reading trails in a room full of exciting updates. Zeman’s library has been transformed this school year with a variety of design improvements. Students can now relax on couches, chairs and ottomans when turning pages of their stories, and new tables provide meeting spots for group lessons and activities. Shelves have also become more inviting with new books for students of all ages. Fourth-grade students Gabe and Jack said they were happy with the changes. Both said the soft-seated couches and chairs have made headlines in Zeman’s hallways. “It’s really nice and comfortable in here now,” Gabe said. “It’s been fun. I really like reading in here.” “There are a lot of good seats,” Jack said. “Our library is great.” Sherri Day joined Zeman’s staff this summer as school librarian. She and Lincoln Public Schools Director of Library Services Chris Haeffner both felt students would benefit from having the space be more at-
tractive. Both said the renovations have provided a burst of energy to the room’s reading environment. “It’s been amazing,” Day said. “When I came here in the summer I thought it needed some cheering up, because the library should be a happy place for kids. It should be a place where they want to come and where they’re excited to be at.” “The bones of the old library didn’t change,” Haeffner said. “We simply leveraged the space and added new furniture to create a more kid-friendly and inviting place to learn, collaborate or get lost in a book.” Zeman Principal Rik Devney said staff members are proud of how the final product turned out. District employees spent many hours working on the semester-long renovations. The school also used $4,000 from a recent book fair fundraiser to add dozens of titles to the shelves. “The amount of collective work that has been put into this is pretty remarkable,” Devney said. Haeffner said part of the district department’s annual budget is specifically set aside for updating library spaces like Zeman’s. Devney worked with the library services team to ensure they could make all of the purchases at once instead of in smaller increments.
The new furniture and fixtures cost approximately $20,000. Another major part of the project took place on the shelves. Day and Haeffner led a team that removed damaged and outdated books from the library this summer. They inserted newer items into prominent places for students to enjoy. “This makes a huge difference in the overall quality of the collection and the ease in which kids can find attractive books,” Haeffner said. “It also allows us to consolidate and re-arrange shelves to better fit the flow of the library.” Fourth-grade classmates Charlie and Jeremy said they have enjoyed the larger selection of books. Jeremy said he likes to read chapter novels and books on arts and crafts, while Charlie said chapter books are his favorite ones. Students expressed joy about the updates during a mid-morning library class. Day helped them learn about terms found in biographies such as the glossary, index and table of contents. They worked on laptop computers at larger tables before spending time in breakout sessions in smaller groups. They ended their 50 minutes by checking out new books to read at home. Day has been teaching at LPS since 1993 and has been a librarian for
the past five years. She leads a large number of library classes at Zeman each week. She felt the space could become home for a wide assortment of other school and community functions as well. “I want this to be a place that gets a lot of use,” Day said. “It reflects the school so well, so I’d like to see it be a place where we have meetings and classes and all kinds of fun opportunities. I want this to be a place where people can gather.” Day said she is extremely grateful for the support she has seen from both the school and community. She said Haeffner and Devney have been enthusiastic about helping with the project, and members of Zeman’s parent-teacher organization have given a large amount of encouragement. All of the partners cheered for her during each step of the project. Day said everyone involved with the renovations could feel good about the outcome. They have mapped out a library where students can achieve academic success with a smile. “I’m so proud of our library,” Day said. “I’m really happy. It’s so exciting to see how welcoming and inviting it is now.”

TeamMates of the Month
Jada and Doug: “That’s what Friends Do” Like many boys his age, third-grade student Jada was interested in planets and dinosaurs. His TeamMates mentor Doug noticed something else about Jada right away. “He’s good at solving problems. I noticed that early, in third or fourth grade, that he was good at thinking things through and solving things.” Jada uses those problem-solving skills when they play chess, a game his dad introduced him to. He says Doug has taught him a lot about the game, but he would change one rule. “A pawn should move backwards!”
be
able
to
Doug laughs. “Sometimes we have to remind each other which way the pieces can move!” Both TeamMates mark two years as about the time that things really shifted to being a true friendship. Doug explains.
“I could tell he was telling me more things about his life and so I shared more too. When we are at the TeamMates Recognition Banquet, my wife will meet him and I think that’s great.” Jada describes Doug as funny, respectful and smart. “He’s funny. Ha ha funny. He tries to put a two on a ‘Draw 2’ when we play UNO and that’s not how it works.” Doug admits he does “mess with” Jada at times to get a laugh out of him. “That’s what friends do.” Jada also appreciates the experience that Doug brings to their friendship. “When we have a problem or something we need to do, Doug knows some stuff.” They still play games of course, and spend time outside, but they also talk about football and other sub-
jects like friends do. And Doug is someone Jada can depend on. “I never wondered if Doug would keep coming when I went to middle school. When I go to high school, I think he’ll follow me there too. If I moved out of Lincoln, maybe then he wouldn’t.” Doug chuckles. “Yeah. That might be tricky.” Sometimes, a mentor is a connector. Last year, Doug saw an opportunity for Jada to get a bike.
“My son worked at a bicycle shop where they repair bikes and donate them. I told Jada about it and he went down there and got a bike and a helmet.” Doug sees something in Jada’s future that Jada probably hasn’t thought about as a seventh grader. “I can see Jada being the mentor some day. I can see that in him.”

Six secrets for sleep success By Michelle Welch, RD, LMNT District Wellness Facilitator The list of reasons sleep can go sideways for a family is endless. Here are some secrets that may help head kids toward a better night’s sleep. ∙ Start with the chart. See the chart connected to this article and discuss it with your student. Notice it talks about waking times, bedtimes and sleep times. Realistically, all of us need a bit of settling in time before falling asleep. Customize your approach to consider how quickly— or not—each child can usually get to sleep.
∙ Help your student become a good sleep evaluator for themselves. Ask questions about how they are doing and make adjustments. The district has provided schools materials to focus on sleep with challenges or bingo cards to help make your job easier this spring quarter. ∙ Ask questions before saying yes. Extracurricular activities can be an issue, even in elementary and middle school. During the school year, late practice times and games/events, if often, may lead to chronically cranky, overtired kids. Keeping kids involved is great, but keep your schedule IQ points

high by thinking to ask before you sign the dotted line. Afterschool, school-based activities may be a great alternative. ∙ Build a bedtime routine. From baths or showers to tooth brushing and picking out tomorrow’s outfit, having kids build these efforts into pre-bedtime is key. Kids are active during the day and likely need to clean up more often than they realize for good hygiene. Often, they need a kind nudge from us as the adults. Building a routine helps create a relaxing approach to bedtime and can eliminate using these activities as bedtime procrastination. You know who you are working with, so build in more time for those pokier preppers to keep them from the bedtime drift. If reading or a bit of quality time with you is the reward to getting through the routine, all the better chances of it being successful.
of the household, we get to have some say over when kids have access. Not enough can be said about what can go wrong for kids when that tech is left in their rooms after dark. Gaming systems, phones, laptops and TVs all steal sleep and many put kids in harm’s way. Help them by giving them a place of peace and calm—free of tech. ∙ Consider caffeine. Caffeine takes about 10 hours to process out of a body. Many of these growing bodies are quite small and caffeine may have a much different impact on them than on adults. Both trouble getting to sleep and waking up throughout the night can often be late caffeine’s result. Energy drinks contain caffeine, taurine and other stimulants and aren’t recommended for kids despite the constant marketing to them. Don’t fall for it.
∙ Be the toughie when it comes to tech. Devices often are sleep’s worst enemy. As the bill-paying members

Walking Together with Love: 2024 MLK Youth Rally Lincoln Public Schools students and community members braved the cold to allow Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy to march on at the 29th annual MLK Youth Rally earlier this semester. LPS middle and high school scholars spent months organizing the event as a part of the planning committee. Students filled the rally with speeches and other special performances like songs and spoken word pieces to reflect on the civil rights leader’s work and call the community to continue his vision.
