Robert visited Jersey City Community Charter School on October 29th, 2004
A special message from Robert Pottle:
Hello to Jersey City Community Charter School. I have heard so many great things about your school. Bruce Lansky told me he had a great visit to Jersey City Community Charter School. I can't wait to visit.
I heard your school has studied Shel Silverstein. In my new book, Moxie Day the Prankster, one of the characters says something about a book by Shel Silverstein. Only a Silverstein expert would be able to find it. Are there any Silverstein experts at your school?
