Ms. Barbara Boutte, Teacher - Montefiore Special School
"What do we find at a flea market? Sometimes we find exclusive jewels, a rare gem indeed, a priceless gem. What did I find at the flea market? I found a man so filled with self esteem, that he is on fire! When asked to speak at Montefiore Special School he instantly accepted. When invited to start a poetry club, he instantly accepted. They all got together, and he so motivated the youth that they instantly accepted the honor of writing the poetry we are reading today. What do we find at the flea market? Sometimes we are lucky to find Mr. Hall."
