Niaya Avia Harper Igarashi, who grew up in the Florissant area and attended Parker Road Elementary School in the PROBE program for gifted students, recently returned to the district to speak to fifth-grade students at Walnut Grove Elementary School taught by her aunt Wyntra Storms. Igarashi, who is fluent in four languages (English, Spanish, French and Japanese), set out as a world traveler after completing her graduate studies at Webster University, attending its campus in London.
