Parent Book CLuBThe 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. Meeting dates for the 2023-2024 school year: **All meetings take place at Poker Hill School and begin at 7:00pm Thursday, October 19--Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture by Virginia Sole-Smith.
