Club Mission:
Staff members read current Young Adult books (fiction/nonfiction) and meet monthly to discuss their readings with one another. This provides insight into the lives of our students and the issues they may face in their homes and communities. Knowledge of diverse values, perspectives, and experiences will offer staff members opportunities to relate to students in new ways and ultimately enhance student achievement through those connections.

The club will meet the third Tuesday morning of each month (September-May) from 7:15 to 8:15 AM in the Media Center.
