Students will be hitting the books in the LMC next week. Not literally. That would be weird. Both LMC’s will be used as silent study areas all next week so students can study for their finals. Questions? Let us know.

We are 204: Rani Patel in Full Effect by Sonia Patel
Almost seventeen, Rani Patel appears to be an Indian girl breaking cultural norms as a hip-hop performer in full effect. But in truth, she's a nerdy flat-chested nobody who lives with her Gujarati immigrant parents on the remote Hawaiian island of Moloka'i. Rani struggles against the culture of her Indian born mother and father and with the deeply hidden family secrets as well. But rap opens up her world, and it turns out she's a survivor. Readers experience trauma alongside Rani, but also learn how to recognize patterns of self-harm, stop the cycle of abuse, and embrace various means of healing.
