Mercedes students welcomed alumna and author Tessie Ledesma as she read and answered questions about her first children's book
"Polly the Possum" during today's elementary school book tour. 📚✨
"Polly the Possum" is a book that celebrates self-acceptance and it was a joy to see our students engaged in the process of book creation with someone who once walked through the very same hallways. #MISDpride #MISDdrive #MISDalumni
