In December 2012, the Nolan Elementary PTA held a Citizenship Essay Contest. The theme was “My American Hero.” One of the school›s 5th grade students, 11-year-old Morgan Sizemore, wrote about ABC Good Morning America Anchor Robin Roberts and her battle with cancer. Morgan’s essay won 3rd place in the Nolan PTA contest and 3rd place in the Hamilton County PTA contest. Local ABC affiliate WTVC News Channel 9 and their reporter Drew Bollea did a story on Morgan and her essay about Roberts. Julie Baumgardner, executive director of First Things First, saw the story and sent it to ABC, who delivered it to Roberts. Roberts wrote Morgan a note on her essay, signed it, and sent it back to Baumgardner, who presented it to Morgan during 5th grade graduation. (Photo provided)
