Shared Experiences Draw People Together.

Share an Experience.

Shared experiences draw people together. That is why we are continuing the One Book, One Community (OBOC) program for its 11th year. Everyone in the school is invited to join together in reading and discussing a shared book.

Our book selection for 2019-20 is What the Eyes Don't See by Mona Hanna-Attisha.

Here is the inspiring story of how Mona Hanna-Attisha, alongside a team of researchers, parents, friends, and community leaders, discovered that the children of Flint, Michigan, were being exposed to lead in their tap water—and then battled her own government and a brutal backlash to expose that truth to the world. Paced like a scientific thriller, What the Eyes Don’t See reveals how misguided austerity policies, broken democracy, and callous bureaucratic indifference placed an entire city at risk. And at the center of the story is Hanna-Attisha herself—an immigrant, doctor, scientist, and mother whose family’s activist roots inspired her pursuit of justice.
