Because of your contribution, students now have access to a welcoming space where reading is something to be enjoyed, shared, and celebrated, not just assigned.\r\n\r\nEstablished this year, the THS Book Club was created in response to a growing need among students for an outlet to read for pleasure rather than solely for academic requirements. From its very first meeting, the club became a supportive, low-pressure environment where students could engage meaningfully with literature. Many students have found connection with peers, opportunities to explore new ideas, and a renewed joy in reading as a result of this space.\r\n\r\nYour support has been instrumental in helping us expand our class library, which is open not only to book club members but to students across the entire school. Access to a diverse and engaging selection of books ensures that all students, regardless of background or financial circumstances, can participate fully, discover stories that resonate with them, and feel included in the conversation.\r\n\r\nIn addition, your generosity has helped us create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere during meetings. Providing snacks and essential supplies has encouraged participation, fostered conversation, and helped students feel relaxed and welcomed.
