| Burr "Father" - Son Book Group |
|
 Attention Burr Dads (or grandpas, uncles, adult male role models, etc)! David Gaita is interested in starting a book group for Burr boys and the men in their lives. We are looking to get the boys and adults together in February or March possibly for 4 consecutive Wednesdays from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The book group is for boys in all grades at Burr School (K-5).
The book selection(s) are yet to be determined, but early readers in younger grades could participate by having their adults read to them, rather than reading independently. Details will be forthcoming, but for the moment, we're trying to get a sense of interest from families. If you think your family would like to participate in the Burr "Father"-Son Bookgroup, please contact Mr Gaita ( david_gaita@newton.k12.ma.us) for more information. |
