‘Uncommon Favor’ book donation

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– Friday, November 13, Heyward Gibbes Middle School got several copies of Gamecock Coach Dawn Staley’s book “Uncommon Favor”.

The Gamma Nu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and the Philadelphia Reading Corner donated the books.

In addition to the donation, members of the sorority led a 60-minute introductory activity to the book where students developed personal definitions of “uncommon”.

The Philadelphia Reading Corner supports access and opportunities for youth and families to engage with and appreciate diverse literature.

Coach Staley grew up in North Philadelphia.
