XO PARTICIPATES IN 'TELL ME A STORY' EVENT AT PORTSMOUTH SCHOOL STORY AND PHOTOS BY ANNA TAYLOR • PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) Executive Officer Capt. Daniel Rossler participated in a Tell Me A Story event at Churchland Primary and Intermediate School June 5. The Military Child Education Coalition’s Tell Me A Story: Making Connections and Finding Support Through Literature initiative was created to empower military children by using literature to build resilience and optimism. "These events are important tools to develop relationships between the local schools and our military installation," said NNSY School Liaison Officer Terrilyn Williams. "Tell Me a Story not only promotes literacy, it also fosters a positive connection and a better understanding of the military presence and support within our community." Rossler read “Ada Twist: Scientist” by Andrea Beaty, which was selected for its content, literary value and illustrations, to families in attendance. After the story, families broke into groups to engage in an activity related to the book. Each family also received a copy of the book, which Rossler signed. "The shipyard has enjoyed a long and successful partnership with the City of Portsmouth," said Rossler. "I really enjoyed reading to the students at Churchland; it was great to see the interest of the students and involvement of their parents. I'm looking forward to participating in more of these events to support our local communities, especially our military families." JULY 2018 • SERVICE TO THE FLEET • 3
