Parenting Book Study: The Bond Lake PS School Council is excited to invite parents and guardians to participate in our upcoming Parenting Book Study. This is a great opportunity to learn together, support one another, and ultimately build a stronger connection with our kids.

We have selected three excellent books, and we’d like all participants to vote on which one we will study together. An in-person meeting will take place on Thursday, March 26 from 5:00-6:00pm in the library during which we will talk about what a Book Study is, how it will work, and decide together which book the group would like to read.

Please see the letter for all the details. All parents/guardians interested in our Book Study are welcome to join us. To help us prepare the library for our first meeting, please RSVP using the Google Form linked in the letter. We look forward to learning together with you!
