BayouBuzz - President Bush´s New Orleans Katrina Statement

BayouBuzz - President Bush´s New Orleans Katrina Statement: "MRS. BUSH: Hey, everybody. Please be seated. We´re a little late because we´ve been in the library here at Warren Easton with the award grant winners of the Laura Bush Foundation, the 10 schools in Louisiana and Mississippi that have just won grants to restock their libraries. And it was really fun for us to have the chance to meet with the librarians and the students and the principals of these 10 schools that are across the Gulf Coast.

School people know they have to get to work right away, and really one of the great signs of recovery all along the Gulf Coast are the schools that are up and going again. A lot of them are in temporary buildings or portable buildings, but they have plans to rebuild. And it´s really a thrill to get to meet with the people who have worked so hard to make sure students all across the Gulf Coast get to go back to their own schools. We know that families can´t move back unless there´s schools for the kids. And so education is one of the most important parts of the recovery."
