Coming-of-Age in “Mockingbird”

Calpurnia-Scout-Jem thumbnailFriday, Oct 24 at 7:00pm  at Staten Island Academy, 715 Todt Hill Road, SINY 10304

The students, faculty & parents of Staten Island Academy invite you to join us for a reading & conversation about To Kill a Mockingbird.  We’ll gather in the atrium of Haugen Hall, at the school’s main entrance.  Free & open to the public.

Co-hosted by SIA literature teacher Elise Faust.  Our reading will be accompanied by an exhibit of art created by the students of SIA art teacher Kristi Pfister. The exhibit will open on Friday, October 24, and will run through Tuesday, November 25.

To Kill a Mockingbird is hailed as an unusual novel for many reasons, including the fact that  young children – especially a little girl – act heroically.  As we read excerpts from the novel, we’ll share ideas on childhood, on coming-of-age, and on the courage inherent in youth.

Plenty of free parking in the front lot, and on surrounding streets.
