WASHINGTON—Eva Morrman, a former Metro Nashville Public School teacher, retired from Hillwood High School in Nashville in September of 2008. Ms. Morrman is currently in Washington, D.C. and took her grandson to the First Grandmothers “Read to the Top” event at the U.S. Department of Education.


Ms. Morrman stopped by Congressman Cooper’s office on her way to the event, where the Congressman thanked her for her years of dedicated service to MNPS.


“Ms. Morrman, it is an honor to have you visit in Washington. Your invaluable contributions to the lives of Nashville’s students will continue to benefit our community, and I admire your continued dedication by participating in the “Read to the Top” program.”

 

“Read to the Top,” the Department of Education’s weekly summer reading campaign, features a variety of children’s books read to children by leading Administration officials. The campaign aims to combat the potential decline in children’s reading achievement over the summer by finding new ways to give children access to books during summer break.

 

Speaking about the Department meeting, Ms. Moran stated that she was thrilled to be in DC with her grandson and delighted to bring a little Tennessee flavor to Department of Education today.
