State Rep. Jehan Gordon (D-Peoria) visited the 5th grade classes at Franklin Primary School as a guest reader this week. She read The Rough-Faced Girl by Rafe Martin. Gordon and the students discussed the importance of valuing the qualities that a person has on the inside over a person’s appearance that was taught in the Native American folktale. Gordon also told the students that this lesson is still relevant in today’s modern world, especially when students are faced with bullying on a daily basis.
