Hallowell Elementary School Principal Steve Glaize is reminding the community that the first meeting of the 2014-2015 Community Book Club will be held Thursday, Oct. 9 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the Hallowell Library. The book club is in its seventh year and features topical discussions, dinner and child care.
The book for 2014-2015 is Rethinking Homework: Best Practices That Support Diverse Needs, by Cathy Vatterott. The author asks whether homework is an essential component of a rigorous education or a harmful practice that alienates a large number of students. Chapter one will be discussed at the October meeting.
