Smith School's Parent Book Club is seeking new members! This year, our Parent Book Club is reading the same books as our Student Book Club. Our first selection is Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick. Reading the stories our students are reading gives us a window into the ideas, challenges, relationships, and choices they are thinking about. Come and join us for our first discussion on Friday, Nov. 13 at 9:15 a.m.! And guess what?! Snacks will be provided! Questions? Please email Mrs. Lynn at mlynn@ramsey.k12.nj.us for more information.
