A Parent Book Club
One of the most powerful tools for helping students to choose the good is a story. Stories help us understand people – past and present – real and imaginary. Stories can be useful in shaping one’s conscience by sharing lessons without preaching or demanding. Stories lead students to open their minds and reflect on what moves them, what challenges them, what angers them, and what surprises them. Ultimately, these reflections enrich and transform students’perspectives. Stories can teach the virtues needed to meet difficulties, to offer compassion, to live humbly, to share, to struggle, and to learn.Have you ever seen your child reading and thought, “I should read that” or “I wish I had read that”? Join us for the 2nd annual classics book club, as we work our way through the classics that our children will read (or have already read) during their time at Brookfield Academy. This year we will focus on C. S. Lewis’ series, The Narnia Chronicles. Parents are responsible for securing their own copies of the books. Discussion will be led by a teacher from the appropriate level or Mrs. Pryor. And all are welcome to attend, even if they have not yet read the materials.
All discussions will be held in the Washington Room in Founders Hall at 8:30 am.Bring your coffee and learn more about what our students are learning! Questions? Contact linda.pryor@brookfieldacademy.org. -
