The Editor, At the beginning of Charlotte Diamond's concert at Lansdowne Mall on Sunday she began by thanking her crew and asking where her friends from Gingerbread House Parent Participation Preschool were.
Her friends from Gingerbread, parents and children who currently attend the preschool, gave out a yell and waved from the crowd. Charlotte then went on to tell the Charlotte then went on to tell the crowd that her son Michael, who plays guitar and sings with her on stage, was once a Gingerbread House student.
Charlotte, who is a long time Richmond resident and former teacher, has close ties
with Gingerbread House Preschool. She is a believer in play-based learning and taking an active role in children's education.
She has periodically returned to Gingerbread House to offer free parent education classes to parents and has graciously donated CD's, posters and Hug Bugs to Gingerbread House's many fundraising endeavours.
All of us at Gingerbread and the many, many more concert attendees were so happy to see Charlotte back on stage.
