I am very excited about this upcoming year and our topics/guests!

Movie Viewing - The Hate U Give
For the October Session, we will be viewing the movie The Hate U Give and having a lunch discussion at a restaurant close to the theater. I will provide additional information regarding the movie location and time as soon as I have a complete listing of the showings.
*I will be covering the cost of the movie admission and lunch for Delta Academy participants*
The Hate U Give is based on an award winning young adult novel. I have provided links for both the book & movie reviews, as well as the movie trailer.
While it is not required, I encourage participants to read the novel as well (preferably prior to viewing the movie).
