Kindred Books

The 11th & 12th grade students in American Literature will be studying the text Kindred by Octavia Bulter as part of the next unit. The Juniors will be embarking on their first graduation portfolio task in literary analysis. At this time, we could REALLY use some donations of the book... Please take a minute to look around your home and see if there are any extra copies you would be OK with donating to the kids. Also, there are many cheap used copies available at Amazon if you would like to donate a copy. Copies of Kindred can be sent to the school through your student or colleague.
