Feb. 13, 2025 (CHARDON, OH) — Chardon High School AP Literature students have partnered with Chardon-area senior citizens to start a book club.
The students and seniors chose titles and each group is reading a different book. This partnership last occurred in 2020, when the club read “Salt to the Sea” by Ruta Septys.
“Every time we get seniors and seniors together it is a really positive experience for all,” Madelon Horvath, one of the organizers of the club, said. “The folks I did talk to really enjoyed the experience and are so impressed with the maturity and welcoming attitude of the students.”
The students have greatly enjoyed getting together for the book club. They said they appreciate the added perspectives the senior citizens bring to their reading.
"They know so much about everything going on in the world which helped us understand more about the world of our book,” one student said.
The club’s first meeting was Feb. 10, and it will run through March 7.
