Parent Book CLuB

The Poker Hill Book Club is run by parent volunteers and meets regularly throughout the school year to
discuss a book chosen by the group. The group’s goals are to build community among parents, to learn
together, and to offer each other support on our parenting journey. We tend to read current or classic
parenting books, but we’re open to whatever the group would like to explore. We also share an interview
with the author for anyone who isn’t able to read the book but would like to participate in the discussion.
We welcome everyone to drop in to one or all meetings regardless of whether you’ve read the book or
listened to the interview. Meetings are held at the school.
