Happy Boss's Day Mr. Hernandez!!

ELEMENTARY NEWS

Dr. Bertice Berry to Speak at La Pryor ISD In-Service

Sociologist, and award winning lecturer Bertice Berry, Ph.D., is one of the most sought after lecturers in the country. She combines her skills as a sociologist and researcher with her ability to make her audiences think and laugh at the same time.

She is the best selling author of the inspirational memoir, I'm On My Way, But Your Foot Is On My Head. She has also published four best selling novels and two humor books. Her latest book, “A Year to Wellness and Other Weight Loss Secrets” is a personal journey of healing and wellness that resulted in a weight loss of 150 lbs.

“Those who care a lot, carry a lot,” says Berry.

Berry is most proud of becoming an instant mother to her five adopted children. "They really are my blessing in disguise," Berry says, "I'm just waiting for them to take the costumes off."

You’ll laugh, you’ll feel, you’ll be inspired, and one thing is for certain--- you’ll leave much differently than you came.
