Waltham Reads
This summer WHS students and faculty will participate in a shared reading experience. Teachers, students, administrators, parents and members of the Waltham community will all read the same book: Left for Dead: A Young Man’s Search for Justice for the USS Indianapolis by Peter Nelson.
This shift in approach to summer reading will help to increase participation, promote cross-discipline collaboration, and strengthen our community.
For more information about the Waltham Reads program please contact the Waltham High School Library. Join me in reading this book....
Next week I'll find more treasures to discover right here in Waltham!
