SUMMARY:Bright Minds Book Club

Each month\, we will also engage in a craft or activity at the book club that reflects the theme. Miss Bri will lead the monthly discussion for the younger kids and Mr. Chad will lead the conversation with the older students. \nBright Minds Book Club Winter Schedule:\nJanuary 2026:\n\nTheme: Winter\nBook Club Date: Tuesday\, January 27 at 4:00 pm\nBook Club Activity: Blizzard in a jar\n\nFebruary 2026:\n\nTheme: Red\nBook Club Date: Tuesday\, February 24 at 4:00 pm\nBook Club Activity: Candy Hearts\n\nMarch 2026:\n\nTheme: Green\nBook Club Date: Tuesday\, March 31 at 4:00 pm\nBook Club Activity: Grow a Rainbow\n\nApril 2026:\n\nTheme: Spring\nBook Club Date: Tuesday\, April 28 at 4:00 pm\nBook Club Activity: Save Fred the Worm

Each month\, we will also engage in a craft or activity at the book club that reflects the theme. Miss Bri will lead the monthly discussion for the younger kids and Mr. Chad will lead the conversation with the older students. \nBright Minds Book Club Winter Schedule:\nJanuary 2026:\n\nTheme: Winter\nBook Club Date: Tuesday\, January 27 at 4:00 pm\nBook Club Activity: Blizzard in a jar\n\nFebruary 2026:\n\nTheme: Red\nBook Club Date: Tuesday\, February 24 at 4:00 pm\nBook Club Activity: Candy Hearts\n\nMarch 2026:\n\nTheme: Green\nBook Club Date: Tuesday\, March 31 at 4:00 pm\nBook Club Activity: Grow a Rainbow\n\nApril 2026:\n\nTheme: Spring\nBook Club Date: Tuesday\, April 28 at 4:00 pm\nBook Club Activity: Save Fred the Worm
