One book, A couple schools

  

On Tuesday, March 18th six Hester students attended One Book, A Couple of Schools: Wonder Workshop at West Leyden High School. A group of over one hundred students from middle schools and high schools in the area all came together to celebrate the novel "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio. One Book, and a Couple of Schools is an annual event where students from the area read the same book and come together to discuss it. The event keeps evolving and this year it was a day long workshop. Hester students collaborated with others and wrote original poetry, wrote scripts for talk show scenes, and created alternative book covers at the workshop. At the end, all of our Hester students shared their work with the group. It was a great event and Hester looks forward to participating it in the future. 

Students who attended: JuVontae S., Sashenka S., Nancy T., Dannalee M., Jenna L., Jael R.
