Produktbeschreibung

\How did a group of Washington, DC high school singers overcome the challenge of preparing and participating in a prestigious international classical music competition in Vienna, Austria? This memoir follows the life and 30-year DC Public Schools career of honored educator Joyce Garrett who founded the 'Excellence Without Excuses' program, using choral music to teach the values of perseverance, self-discipline, teamwork, loyalty, high achievement, and higher education. This book chronicles how she inspired her students to reach beyond their immediate grasps, lead purposeful lives, and fulfill their dreams. Marion Woodfork Simmons is a family and community historian and the owner of Woodfork Genealogy LLC. She helps ordinary people preserve their history by transforming their memories, photographs, and memorabilia into local history books or memoirs. She became an author after noticing a scarcity of written information about the communities where her ancestors lived. Simmons has received several awards for preserving local history, including recognition from the Board of Supervisors of Caroline County, Virginia; Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS) Paul Edward Sluby; Sr. Meritorious Achievement; and the Annual Caroline Historical Society Award. When she's not writing, she gives presentations on researching, documenting, and preserving local history to genealogy and local history groups.
