The final read aloud of the school year was Jonah Winter’s Sonia Sotomayor: A Judge Grows in the Bronx / La juez que crecio en el Bronx. The author compares Justice Sotomayor to the moonflower that “blossoms in an unexpected place…on a chain-link fence, near broken glass, next to an abandoned building—watered by someone whose name you might not even know.” The Bronx and the Tice Community share diverse ethnicities and cultures.
