STEM as An Early Start for Students, Parents and Teachers

(Using Educational Leadership to Build an Effective Model)

About the Book: A book about STEM experiences with children, parents, administrators and community partners. When reading the information provided, leaders can build a framework for a STEM integral or daily use while teaching grades (Pre-K through 12).

The Hebron Cross

About the Book: This book covers part one of the author’s life during 1956 – 2017. Her account of what she experienced, heard grown folks talk of and her love for reading allowed her a knowledge-base of history which would teach anyone a lesson; a lesson on being poor, but being very rich at the same time in life. Imagine what she does not know that her elder brothers and sisters (generations apart) may have kept to themselves while living in Bennettsville and Hebron, a rural community in Marlboro County, South Carolina.
