GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ESA’s OWN BOOK CLUB…
Please join us for ESA’s Own Book Club. New members are welcome anytime.
We had a very successful inaugural year during the 2015-16 school year. We’re back for an even bigger and better book club in 2016-17.
- We are going to read our way through five (5) books this year.
- We are also going to hold two meetings on each book club day… an after school meeting to accommodate any (students and/or staff primarily) who are unable to make it in the evening on account of school commitments.
- This will be in addition to the regularly scheduled evening book club meeting.
For the regular (evening) book club meeting:
- plan to join us in the Library for tea and treats at 6:45pm (bring your own mug!);
- we will begin discussing our book promptly at 7pm;
- expect to wrap up around 9pm;
- all members of the ESA community – past and present – are welcome to attend. We have a great group of students, staff, parents and grads among our complement.
