The Index School would like to invite the community to read Three Cups of Tea along with them. There are 3 books to choose from. Three Cups of Tea is the adult book. Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace…One Child at at Time is the book for upper elementary and middle school-age children. Listen to the Wind, The Story of Dr. Greg & Tree Cups of Tea is a picture book for younger children. Please read the appropriate book for your family, or all three!
Index students should finish up their book by mid-October, hence we encourage you to check out your book soon! The bookmobile schedule is listed below, or you can talk to Mrs. Hansen for a copy.

Please help us join together to collect pennies for peace! We all have pennies, in our couch, car, pockets…Ask your neighbors, friends, family, and anyone you know to help you in this message of peace and good will. It also ties into the school’s theme this year, which is “Going Global”. Please bring your pennies to the book discussion on Tuesday, October 27 to Index School.
