Book of the Year
Our School Connections Committee selected junior companion books for families to read together. The hope is that everyone would participate in discussions of the important themes in The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. 
Thanks to all who crafted butterflies for The Butterfly Project.  We collected over 1600 hand crafted butterfiles to donate to the Holocaust Museum Houston in memory of children who perished in the Holocaust.

​The Butterfly is a symbol of freedom. 1,500,000 innocent children perished in the Holocaust. In an effort to remember them, Holocaust Museum Houston collected
​more than 1.5 million handmade butterflies. The butterflies comprised a breath-taking exhibition.
