COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – Alpha Kappa Alpha\u2019s Gamma Nu Omega chapter donated copies of South Carolina women\u2019s basketball coach Dawn Staley\u2019s book, \u201cUncommon Favor,\u201d to Heyward Gibbes Middle School in partnership with the Philadelphia Reading Corner.<\/p>\n
According to Richland County School District One, the Philadelphia Reading Corner supports opportunities for youth and families to engage with literature. Staley grew up in North Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Sorority members also led an hourlong introductory activity in which students discussed the definition of \u201cuncommon\u201d and made connections between their lives and Staley\u2019s.<\/p>\n
The activity was held at the middle school Friday at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
