Event honoring Garrison’s legacy was inspiring
It was so wonderful to see the faces of neighbors and friends coming together to learn more about this remarkable woman.
We would like to thank The Robbins House, Playbook student leaders, and the Acton Public Schools for putting on such a wonderful event on Tuesday evening, November 4.
The event was to celebrate and learn more about Ellen Garrison with an educational movie, presentation by the Playbook student leaders, an actor reading historic letters written by Ellen, a question-and-answer session, and student tours of the new Ellen Garrison school building for the community. It was so wonderful to see the faces of neighbors and friends of all ages coming together to learn more about this remarkable woman and her legacy.
My 8-year-old daughter was especially inspired to know that Ellen went to the Acton schools just like her, and that she started her activism at a young age. It was so special to be learning more about the incredible Ellen Garrison while at The Ellen Garrison.
Thank you for putting on such a wonderful event for all of us.
