Program Description

Details

Come join us for Teen Book Club! Held at the high school during Flex Block, each month we discuss a book we read together and receive a new book to talk about the following month!

All high school-level teens are welcome to participate. If you are a PHS student, remember to register for Flex Block. If you are a non-PHS student, please register using the form on this event page. Non-PHS students are in charge of getting to the high school independently. Once you register as a non-PHS student on this page, Andrew will contact you shortly about meeting up at PHS.

At this meeting, students will discuss Stamped by Ibram X. Kendi and adapted for young adults by Jason Reynolds.  "The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. Racist ideas are woven into the fabric of this country, and the first step to building an antiracist America is acknowledging America's racist past and present. This book takes you on that journey, showing how racist ideas started and were spread, and how they can be discredited." --Description provided by the publisher.
