WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - A local teacher had an extra ticket to attend Michelle Obama’s book signing at Politics and Prose, so he took one of her biggest fans—a fifth grade student.
Jared Catapano is a fifth-grade teacher at Lafayette Elementary School. Last year, he was 10-year-old Marleigh McKay’s fourth-grade instructor; the pair developed an incredible bond and have remained very close.
According to Marleigh’s mother, Jennifer Snowden-McKay, professor Catapano has played a huge role in helping her find her voice, and is as much an advocate as he is an educator.
And one person that has helped her tap into that magic is Michelle Obama.
She was inspired to run for office in student government because of the example that the Obamas have set. Her mother told FOX 5, to Marleigh, Michelle is the perfect example of strength, intelligence, style and grace—the epitome of black girl magic!
When presented with the opportunity to bring a child with him to meet Michelle Obama at her book signing, Jared and his wife knew the perfect person to invite, Marleigh.
“They were absolutely giddy while waiting in line to meet her.” Jennifer told FOX 5, “Marleigh said was so nervous she almost forgot her name.”(snip)
It was a truly a special day for the two, a memory that will last a lifetime.

The blind TEACHING the blind.
There, fixed it.
“A PUKE warning would have been nice”
I would have, but for the 100-character limit on story titles. :)
That’s nice
Barf!
Kids like Big Mike?
thanks a lot for ruining my breakfast. If I wanted to see Bigfoot, I would turn on The Nature Channel.
Teachers are allowed to take students off the premises of school?
Was this an officially sanctioned School field trip?
Do they permit such one on one events, as opposed to field trip for the entire class?
I just have a feeling, that some strings were pulled, and waivers of official policies granted, to allow a teacher to take a single student outside of school hours, to an event such as this.
He looks so, so, so....woke. Yeah, that’s it. Where’s his husband anyway?

All Moochelle heard was Cha-Ching.
glad kid happy but...
what’s the attraction? Michelle never accomplished anything useful in her life, and she’s not doing anything helpful now, either
to me, a ‘hero’ would be someone who helped people or rescued people or defended people in battle or maybe (stretching it a lot, admittedly) a great sports figure or artist or????
someone who at least has accomplished something in life?
“what’s the attraction?”
Thanks to her mother and this guy, the kid thinks Mooch is heaven-sent.
I’d wager if you ask the mother to name a real, meaningful accomplishment of the Mooch, the mom would pause, come up empty, and then call you racist.
I wonder if Michelle uses beard oil is does she let her beard go natural?
Was it “giddy” or “nauseous?”
Is that what they call fifth grade teachers now, Professors?? Actually in the olden days, a professor was slang for the piano player in a bordello.
