Former First Lady Barbara Bush Visits Small Steps

April 28, 2011

Mrs. Barbara Bush visited Small Steps’ Jensen Campus last week to tour the school and read to our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes. Thirty students listened as Mrs. Bush read their favorite classroom books titled, The Many Colored Days and The Perfect Nest. Students also had time to ask Mrs. Bush questions about her time in the White House, as well as show her their classrooms. The students, teachers and staff of Small Steps Nurturing Center are so grateful for Mrs. Bush taking the time to visit Small Steps. Mrs. Bush, thank you for your support of literacy and education in the lives of families all across our nation.

Students asked Mrs. Bush questions about her time in the White House. “What do you eat in the White House?” “Do kids get presents in the White House?” “Does the White House have nice things in it?”
