Book Club groups will meet once a month for 30 minutes after school in the library to discuss the pre-selected book. Students will discuss the story elements as well as vocabulary words and receive additional reading suggestions. A donation of $15 per participant is requested to help cover the cost of books. Students are permitted to keep the books or give them to their teachers for their classroom libraries. Please send a separate registration and check for each child. We will be picking names by lottery and cannot guarantee siblings will all get in.
Each Tuesday session is limited to 19 students per group and a lottery will be held if over 19 students request membership. As with all after school clubs, transportation will not be provided. Please pick up your child promptly at 3:15pm. They are not permitted to walk home. (If your child is in CASA, we will be happy to accompany them to CASA after the session.)
