For their summer reading assignment, students at RKYHS were given a list of books that were recommended by their teachers. The faculty recommendations came from their teachers across the board, not just their English faculty. Science and math teachers, Judaic Studies rebbeim, guidance counselors, administration, office staff and more offered up their picks for the students. Students recently got together in small groups to engage in discussions of their books with the faculty member who had recommended it. From classics like “Pride and Prejudice” and historical accounts like “Spies of No Country” to contemporary works like “The Hate U Give” and “The Mamba Mentality” and many other fiction and non-fiction options, students enjoyed reading the breadth of books offered. The lively school-wide discussions offered a great opportunity for teachers across all disciplines to be unified in showing students an appreciation for reading and book discussions.
