District 41 Hispanic Book Club for Parents

The District 41 Hispanic Book Club for parents recently finished the first book study of the year. The book was called Sientese En La Silla Del Conductor: Las Diez Competencias Para Conducir A Sus Hijos Al Triunfo Académico. The book assisted parents in deep discussions around the reasons behind the lack of academic achievement of Hispanic youth in the U.S. and the strategies that parents can use to motivate and support their students towards academic success. The book study was facilitated by District 41 staff member Gaby Hernandez. The book study ended this past Saturday with a book signing by the author Dr. Lourdes Ferrer. The second and last book study of the year will be held in the spring. To learn more about how to participate in the book club, contact Gaby Hernandez.
