A Message from Ms. Sanghera

Dear Families, I am excited to share that Book Clubs will be starting after Spring Break! All students are invited to participate. Please see the flyers for specific dates and meeting times. *Note- all meetings are on Thursday mornings except for one date for K-2.  📚 Book Selections by Grade Level

  • Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grades: Mercy Watson to the Rescue by Kate DiCamillo
  • 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades: The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies

Students will be responsible for obtaining their own copy of the book. Families are encouraged to check local libraries or favorite bookstores. There is no need for students to read the book before the first meeting. We will begin with fun introductory activities to get everyone excited and ready for our book clubs.
