Philadelphia mayoral candidate Cherelle Parker captivated SCH Horizons students on the last day of their six-week session when she visited the program for their “Harambee.” The Swahili word for "pulling together,” Harambee circle time includes singing and dancing and closes out each week with a special guest or activity. Parker read "Wilma Unlimited: How Wilma Rudolph Became the World's Fastest Woman."
