AUGUST SPOTLIGHT: Back to School READS

Welcome Back Geckos! School year 2024-2025 is here and we've put together a list of Back to School Books for you to read. These books will help you navigate the challenges of the first days of school, walking the hallways as the new kid on campus, being true to yourself, finding your fit, embracing the drama, surviving your classes, etc. Our Back to School Reads will help put things into perspective as you read how others handle their first days, their new beginnings, their new challenges, etc.

All it takes is for a book that you can super relate to . . . So start checking them out!
