Mr. Alex-Zan threw an inflatable globe to a third-grader at Jackson-Via Elementary School. Looking around at her friends, the little girl giggled when asked to give the world a big hug.

 

On Wednesday, author and motivational speaker Charles Alexander — better known as Alex-Zan — visited the school to talk to the young students about spreading positivity and being the best students they can be. Throwing the earth around, Alex-Zan wanted the students to think about how their words and actions can affect the people around them.
