ONE BOOK-ONE SCHOOL

For the upcoming 2020-2021 school year, the PTSA, Parents of African American Students (PAAS), and Mt. Hebron staff are collaborating to bring a course of study and informed action on racism and anti-racism to our own community called MHHS FIRST One Book-One School.

 

NEXT UP: All are welcome on Tuesday, March 2 @ 7:00pm to join the One Book Parent Book Discussion Group to talk about Sections 4 & 5 on a Zoom call."

​

One Book-One School 

is a movement designed to encourage an entire school community (staff, students, parents and the greater Mt. Hebron community) to read one book and participate in ongoing activities throughout the year.  As a part of building informed knowledge to create informed action, we will be studying “Stamped: Racism, Anti-Racism and You” by Maryland's own Jason Reynolds, author of a Remix of the National-Book-Award-Winning book “Stamped From the Beginning” by Ibram X. Kendi.

Reading this powerful interdisciplinary book together will be a great way to inform our action as a community.  Our journey is only just beginning.  PTSA/PAAS will send out updates as they develop.
