PageTurners Book Discussion Group

Linda Ryan advises PageTurners, the LRC book club, which meets every Friday during all lunch periods.  Dessert is provided.  If you know students who like to read and would like to get connected, or are reluctant readers, please recommend them to Linda. PageTurners is teaming with Carrie Parlette’s child development class to tutor Iroquois Community School 1st graders in Language Arts skills on late arrival days. 

PageTurners use Moodle as a social forum to discuss their reading online.
