Join Katherine Stievater, founder of Gap Year Solutions for a presentation and Q&A about why students choose to take a Gap Year, and how to plan transformational and purposeful Gap time on any budget.

The Belmont Middle School PTO is excited to bring the BPS Parent and Caregiver community together for another 2-part discussion on the book “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky, a “haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion,” told through the letters of Charlie, a high school student who is “caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.” This book club will be facilitated by the BMS Assistant Principal, Jason DelPorto, and will take place at Belmont Middle School from 6:45-8pm on Thursday, Feb. 26th, and Thursday, March 19th. Limited to adults and no childcare provided.
