Young Miss Bethea returned to J. V. Martin School today.

It was only a brief item, just now, on a local SC news channel - sorry, no link.

She was very calm, sweet, and sincere. All the school turned out in the gym where she received a big bundle of balloons and ribbons, a warm hug from a teacher (or principal?) and apparently gave a little talk to her schoolmates.

This young girl is going places. She was so collected when she spoke to the camera. She just may be our first woman president, that's what I heard she has said she wants to do.

Congratulations to Miss Bethea, and a big Thank You from DU for that letter she wrote. Most of South Carolina thanks her, too. Maybe she and President Obama between them can shame the idiot, posturing governor into taking the money that will help our state, as well as the country.

(DUer 1776Forever has a post with a closer look at the school here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5131948 )
