<strong>GRIOTS</strong><br />
Give<br />
Each quarter Griots Republic endeavors to give<br />
back to the community through coordinated<br />
programming with our corporate partners.<br />
In commemoration of February’s <strong>Black</strong> History<br />
Month, GR partnered with <strong>An</strong>them Blue<br />
Cross and Blue Shield to read to the students<br />
of Ralph Waldo Emerson School (RWE) #58,<br />
in Indianapolis, Indiana. Approximately<br />
fifteen volunteers read travel themed, black<br />
history children’s books like, Calvin Alexander<br />
Ramsey’s “Ruth and the Green Book” and<br />
Joyce Carol Thomas’ “In the Land of Milk and<br />
Honey” to seven elementary classes.<br />
Along with the reading day, more than 30<br />
gently used iPads were donated to the library<br />
to enable RWE staff and students to work<br />
together using creative learning tools, apps<br />
and interactive textbooks for endless learning<br />
possibilities. <strong>An</strong>them also donated iTunes gift<br />
cards to the school to ensure that they gain<br />
access to the appropriate educational apps.
