I’m excited to share some of my “can’t miss” summer reads! Here a few books to check out this summer, hope you enjoyed them as much as I did. The list is not required reading, just highly encouraged. Students who record their books should bring their reading logs to me in the fall for a ‘Super Summer Reader’ surprise!

This year I had the fortune of being able to travel to San Diego for the NAIS’ 23rd annual People of Color Conference (PoCC). In all, 2900 teachers, administrators and high school students from around the country attended the conference. The PoCC is the NAIS’ flagship of equity and justice initiatives to address two important needs: the need for people of color in independent schools to come together for support and the need for schools to find ways to build and sustain inclusive independent school communities.
