Early Reader Book Club (Grades K-1)

05 Nov 2026 Early Reader Book Club is designed to help foster a love of reading in children in grades K-1. The club meets monthly during the school year and is built around a picture book, which children will be able to take home. We'll start by reading and discussing the book together.
