JCMS concluded our new reading initiative called “One Book, One School” with a live, virtual author visit from Caitlin Alifirenka, co-author of I Will Always Write Back. Through an energetic and engaging session, she told the story of her friendship with Zimbabwean penpal Martin Ganda and how they changed each other’s lives. Our students really connected with her message of “Kindness is Contagious.”
