Equity & Inclusion Speaker: Racism and Young People's Literature
St. Thomas School

This speaker series offers our community the opportunity to connect, learn, and engage in topics around equality, inclusion, and anti-bias education. RSVP for the fourth session with bestselling author Jason Reynolds.

We are pleased to join with other area independent schools to bring the Equity and Inclusion Virtual Speaker Series to St. Thomas School. This series offers our community the opportunity to connect, learn, and engage in topics around equality, inclusion, and anti-bias education. RSVP for the fourth session with bestselling author Jason Reynolds.

Reynolds writes novels and poetry for young adult and middle-grade audiences. His award-winning book, Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks, was a National Book Award finalist, Carnegie Medal winner, and was named one of the best books of 2019 by NPR, The New York Times, School Library Journal, and more. Look Both Ways is composed of interconnected stories, each centering on a different student from the same school and tells what happens after the dismissal bell rings, brilliantly reminding readers to look at our surroundings more closely and notice all the things that connect us to our communities.
