Fall Book Club

Our Fall Book Club was a success! Beginning in October students read three age-appropriate books (one per month) based on their grade levels and engaged in lively book discussion over a yummy breakfast filled with sweets and treats during their meetings. Thank you to our amazing parent volunteers Neeta Mohankar, Nazish Abder , Dave Maino and Prachi Shah who led our passionate younger readers on this adventure filled journey. Your support and enthusiasm were invaluable. 

Stay tuned for details on our next book club in the spring!
