This one's still a few days off, but what with the extended weekend (extended, that is, if you're lucky enough to get President's Day as a holiday), we thought it'd be good to give you an advance heads-up.
On Tuesday, Feb. 20, local author/poet/screenwriter Terry A O'Neal will visit Franklin High School to help the school celebrate and observe Black History Month.
Born and raised in Stockton, O'Neal is the author of several children's, young adult and family-oriented books, such as "Ev'ry Little Soul" and "Sweet Lavender." O'Neal is also the founder and executive director of Lend Your Hand Inc., Educating The World's Children, a nonprofit organization aimed at helping kids across the globe.
O'Neal will speak to students from 8-11 a.m. at Franklin High (6400 Whitelock Parkway, Elk Grove). For more info, call (916) 714-8150.
