On Tuesday evening, the high school book club gathered to discuss their first summer read, The Secret Life of Bees. Students enjoyed plenty of snacks while sharing their thoughts about the novel. The group also watched the movie adaptation and compared the differences between the film and the book. Mrs. Knowles led the discussion with thought-provoking questions that encouraged students to think deeply, reflect on themes, and grow as readers.
