Another Peabody Parent Named Memphis Top 40 Under 40!

Webegwuekwe_meka

Congratulations to awesome Peabody Elementary dad Meka Egwuekwe! He’s been selected as one of the Memphis Business Journal’s “Top 40 Under 40” – a list of the city’s top young civic and business leaders.

Meka is the senior architect and co-director of development for Lokion Interactive, a digital service and strategy agency.   

Of course, you can just call him “Mr. E” – that’s what our Peabody 2nd graders call him when he volunteers as their French teacher every Friday.  

Yea, Peabody parents rock.  

See our Peabody parents who made MBJ’s Top 40 under 40 in 2011!

What is one thing a parent can do to partner with you in educating their child?  Constant communication with me and reviewing skills at home with their child will help tremendously.
