NFA Book Club | December Selection
The NFA Book Club will be reading The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste as their December selection. The meeting to discuss the book is scheduled for January 9h.
Previous book selections for the 2024 school year have included:

Stories were selected by students via a compilation of responses from a survey sent to all NFA students.
Each month, students, faculty, and staff join together to discuss the book, along with their observations and reflections on the story. The NFA Book Club selected to read these titles in 2023.
20 copies of each book have been generously donated by the Superintendent's office. Copies are available by signing up at your NFA library or contacting Ms. O'Neill at AONeill@necsd.net. All NFA students are welcome to participate.
