We know it’s important for kids to read. But we shouldn’t forget, it’s also important for our 12,000+ kids that they see grownups reading too! What have you been reading this summer? A few months ago, we asked Communities In Schools board members what they are reading. Here’s what some of them said:
I am currently reading Centered Leadership by Joanna Barsh. I attended a Johnson and Johnson Women’s Leadership Initiative and heard Joanna speak. I loved her stories and the research she has placed into this book.
-Jen Randall
QBQ! The Question behind the Question by John G. Miller.
-David Maurer
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow and Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
-Patti Sholler-Barber
I am reading two books right now: Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow and Never Caught by Erica Dunbar.
-Pamela C. Enslen
Lab Girl by Hope Jahren.
-Janice Brown
I’m actually reading the Kalamazoo Community Read: Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
-Tony McDonnell
