Announcing the Virtual Ancient Book Club!  The Alumnae Board and Book Club co-chairs, Nicole LaMotte ’88 and Mayanthi Fernando ’93 are excited to announce the inaugural virtual Book Club for Miss Porter’s School Ancients!

The Book Club discussions will be hosted quarterly, beginning in January 2021, followed by new book announcements and discussions in April, July, and September. 

Each time there will be two discussion sessions to choose from, with the goal to reach various time-zones.  Each discussion session will be capped at 20 guests in order to promote thoughtful discussion.  Event organizers are prepared to add a third session should the interest dictate.  All discussions will be hosted on Zoom.

The co-chairs will look to the Ancient community for suggestions for subsequent books (July and September). Future book selections will be based on submissions presented, selecting the book that has the most interest, as well as balancing fiction and nonfiction suggestions. 

When registering Ancients will choose one discussion session.  Upon the completion of registration, participants will receive a unique Zoom Link.
