Join us for the launch of our PTA-sponsored book club, Equity Shelf! We’ll read and discuss books that spark conversation about equity and community.

Our first read is Be a Revolution: How Everyday People Are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World by Ijeoma Oluo, a powerful and practical guide to building change in our daily lives, our communities, and beyond. Whether you’re new to these conversations or have been on this journey for a while, this is a space to learn, share, and connect with other parents.

Join us for our first meeting on 9/24 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Need a book? Please RSVP ASAP so we can get those that need books a copy.

Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2025
Times: 5:30-7:30pm. Dinner begins at 5:30pm; Book Club starts at 6:00pm.
