Gibbs Teachers Tour Southside Neighborhoods

This tour included 22nd Street South, 18th Avenue South, Bartlett Park, Harbordale, Jordan Park, Childs Park and the Carter G. Woodson African-American Museum.

ST. PETERBURG -Principal Kevin Gordon and his staff have been working
almost around the clock as they prepare for the 2009-10 school year. On Tuesday
the staff participated in a Cultural Competency Day which included guest speaker
Zachary, Zack Rich, Richardson, author of “The DUMB Kid Speaks: 6 Keys to
Helping Your Student to Succeed In School & In Life.” Richardson is the
president and founder of A Pivotal Point Enterprises and the Executive Director
of The Character Center. He recently received the 2009 Delta Economic Lifetime
Township Achievement Award from the Tallahassee Alumnae Chapter of the Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. He is currently working with the mayor of Tallahassee
and Florida State University in the PBS Kids Raising Readers Program. Richardson
is a 1989 graduate of Gibbs High School and credits many of his teachers,
including some who are still teaching there, with his success.A very important
part of the day’s activities was the bus tour through many of the south side
neighborhoods that a large number of Gibbs students call home; the tour was
sponsored by the Gibbs Class of 1966. Class president, Eugene Roberson and
officers unanimously agreed to donate $698.00 for the tour buses used to
transport 110 teachers through the community. Roberson said, “This is a small
way to support the school that provided us with the strong foundation that
accounts, in no small way, for the success of so many Gibbs Gladiators.”
