Last year, after reading Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, my teacher sent our class a survey regarding whether, as students, we thought the book should remain part of the 8th grade curriculum. This survey was vague because it did not explain why the English Department was considering axing the book. How was I supposed…

It was the beginning of many friendships and memories.
JSR alums remember the program fondly.
