The Susan Spear
|
Unlike many halls of fame, Branford’s Educational Hall of Fame does not have an actual area or building. Instead, the names of inductees are inscribed on a bookplate in the library books the organization donates each year to the Branford Public School libraries. We have named this process ‘The Susan Spear Book Project’ in honor of a longtime Branford teacher and Branford Board of Education member who developed the concept. The Hall of Fame has provided close to 1200 books for school libraries and have, in a sense, a functional, learning based Hall of Fame in our schools through these books. The Hall of Fame plans to continue and expand this project with a goal of donate a number of high quality books to all the schools.
