[close] This club is for all East Side Community High School students,staff and families. East Side Community High School is nationally famous for its independent reading program and for having a school full of 6-12th graders who are passionate readers. Every 6 weeks Principal Mark Federman selects 6 to 8 books that are read by many members of the school community. The classroom libraries, school library and Mark's office library are flooded with copies of the books. Students can choose to read as many of the books as they would like. A lunch meeting is held for each book. Sometimes the author or a special guest joins us. Other times we leave the building to meet an author or to see a movie based on the book. There is also a book club for families.

This Goodreads group is for students,staff and teachers to discuss the themes, issues and ideas in the books. This group will also serve as means for students, staff and families to make recommendations for books we may want to read next and to share favorite books, authors and genres. [close]
