SEVENTH GRADER GETS THE ROYAL TREATMENT
Baroody Mentioned in Letter from the Queen |
|
Peterson 7th grader Joseph Baroody was fascinated by stories of England and the royal family as told by a popular substitute teacher, Jeanette Lane. The Wales native and longtime Kerrville resident happily answers questions about her homeland if posed by students drawn by her obvious English accent. One such question was answered when Baroody asked Lane whether she thought the Queen of England would answer him if he wrote to her. Lane felt confident that Baroody would receive a response and encouraged him to correspond with The Queen.
Weeks passed, but the next time Lane was subbing on campus and saw Baroody she asked whether or not he’d finally written The Queen. Baroody answered her honestly, saying that he’d been discouraged by someone who told him it was a waste of time. So determined to help Baroody, Lane initiated a letter on his behalf.
