Aletha Pandora Barnes

I had the privilege of working as the librarian at Banneker Elementary from 1973 until 1982. Aletha was my assistant for several years. We worked for 2 memorable years in 1974 and 1975 in a Title I summer school at Banneker. Aletha knew so many of the children and made it one of my most enjoyable teaching experiences in my 37 years of teaching. I can truly say that Aletha was always smiling and upbeat, and incredibly creative in working with the students. I am so sorry for her loss but she made a lasting impression on me and will never be forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear of Aletha passing.
I just found out today , I would have attended her funeral if I had known.
I enjoyed working with her at the Tech Center . She always made me feel good about myself and we would talk and laugh daily .
Aletha was a wonderful person.
My love and condolences to the family .
