Re: Summer Faculty Reading

We used to have a faculty summer read but last year we decided to make it
a "whole school" read.
Last year , we read "Three Cups of Tea". The different versions lended
themselves nicely to cross divisional reading since we are a PS- 12 school.
This year, we are reading "October Sky". Students in grades 7 - 12 will
read it and Lower School will pick up on the theme and do a project and
find a suitable book to engage them.
