California elementary school to be renamed after Michelle Obama

An elementary school in Richmond, California, will be renamed after Michelle Obama.

The West Contra Costa Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously to rename Wilson Elementary School to Michelle Obama Elementary School.

The board’s vote makes the school the first in Northern California and the second in the state named after the former first lady.

The school’s PTA was the first to request the name change.

“We wanted to choose someone on a global level,” Wilson PTA President Maisha Cole said. “With a new school and new learning environment, we want our children to think beyond Richmond, to think beyond California, and remind them that they can make a difference locally and globally.”
