Students entering 7th to 12th grade are invited to sip tea or lemonade while we discuss Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan. Let's talk about women's rights and using the arts to make a difference in the world. 

Participants should read the novel before attending on July 22nd. You can pick up a copy in the children's room.

This event will be held in our community room. 

Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan: Jasmine and Chelsea are best friends on a mission--they're sick of the way women are treated even at their progressive NYC high school, so they decide to start a Women's Rights Club. They post their work online and soon they go viral. But with such positive support, the club is also targeted by trolls. When things escalate in real life, the principal shuts the club down. Not willing to be silenced, Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for their voices--and those of other young women--to be heard.
