Yesterday was a day to remember at City Park Elementary as we welcomed local author Rachel Smalley, author of TUFTED: The Stitch & Story of Catherine Evans Whitener!

Rachel took our Panthers on an unforgettable journey through Dalton's history, sharing the inspiring story of Catherine Evans Whitener, whose creativity, determination, and innovative spirit helped lay the foundation for Dalton's carpet industry.

But this visit was about so much more than a book! Rachel reminded our students of the importance of dreaming big, following their passions, believing in themselves, and honoring those who came before us.

One of the most powerful moments came when Rachel encouraged our students to say Catherine Evans Whitener's name aloud, reminding them that her story and legacy deserve to be remembered. What a beautiful lesson in the power of one person to make a lasting difference!

We cannot thank Rachel enough for the time, energy, heart, and enthusiasm she poured into making this experience so special for our students. She truly went above and beyond, and her passion for literacy, education, history, and our community is contagious!

Our Panthers walked away with more than a story about Dalton's past. They walked away inspired to imagine the difference THEY might make in our community's future!

Catherine Evans Whitener helped shape Dalton's history. Rachel Smalley is helping ensure her story is never forgotten.

Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your story, your passion, and your heart with the 405! You are a true example of our Endless PAWSibilities!
