The Andes Central JAG members had the opportunity to Zoom with author VJ Smith. Mr. Smith is one of the Advisory Board members for JAG. Smith wrote the book, “The Richest Man in Town”. The students read the book in class and the JAG officers contacted Mr. Smith to see if he would be available to talk with the class about his book. The book is about an employee who worked as a cashier/greeter in Brookings. The book was an inspirational story about how to treat people with kindness and how that affects their lives. The students enjoyed the book and were able to ask Mr. Smith questions on how his experience with “Marty”, whom the book was written about, impacted his life and the lives of others. Mr. Smith donated books for all the JAG students when I was at a conference in Sioux Falls over the summer.
