Membership
Dear Parent/Guardian:
We are pleased to announce the beginning of our virtual book club for girls interested in exploring black history and black culture through books. Discretion is used in choosing age appropriate books of literary merit; however, it is possible that some books may contain elements that an individual parent deems inappropriate for his/her child. A parent may always contact us at blackswallowtailsvbc@gmail.com to obtain the titles of upcoming book selections. If a parent chooses to have a student opt out of a particular month’s selection, please let us know as soon as possible, since attendance does affect membership.
It is the member’s responsibility to obtain a copy of the book selection in paperback, e-reader, audio or hardcover form. It is not necessary that a member purchase the book if one can be procured from their public library.
Membership is open to all girls in grades K - 12.
Girls under 18 years of age will need to submit a parental/guardian permission form.
Membership does require individuals being able to participate in the book club discussion via Zoom.
The club will meet monthly to discuss the featured book.
Membership meeting groups are age specified.
Meetings will be held the 2nd Saturday of each month starting in September. All times are Eastern Standard Time (EST).
The Bumblebees K - 1st Grade 10 AM - 10:25 AM
The Sparks 2nd - 3rd Grades 10 AM - 10:25 AM
