The NU Book Club, Under the Covers, gave Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham an A+. It was suspenseful and kept you reading to the end! We have chosen another book to read titled Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. According to Goodreads, "it's a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets." The genre is horror, thriller, mystery and fiction. We are reading thru chapter 10 and meeting May 14 at 5pm in the NU Community Library. We would love to see you there!

With care, creativity, and kindness, they serve up more than just meals—they provide comfort, smiles, and the fuel our students need to succeed.
Thank you to our school lunch heroes for all you do behind the scenes and at the front lines. We appreciate you more than words can say!
