📚 LAST CALL TO ORDER YOUR BOOK!

On Tuesday we will let Talking Animals Bookstore know how many copies of the September book club pick to order! If you need a copy of Mastery: Why Deeper Learning Is Essential in an Age of Distraction for September Book Club, drop a comment below before Tuesday night so we can reserve one for you.

Whether you’re joining us in person on Sept. 24 or via Zoom on Sept. 25, we can’t wait for this conversation on moving beyond test prep toward true, deep learning for our GCISD kids.

Tag a friend or neighbor who cares about the future of our schools and bring them along—let us know if they need a copy, too! ☕✨

📚 SAVE THE DATES for September Book Club!

We have two great options to meet up this month for the Pajamas & Policy Book Club!

Our September Pick:
Mastery: Why Deeper Learning Is Essential in an Age of Distraction by Tony Wagner and Ulrik Juul Christensen.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on as a GCISD community, it’s that we want our kids to truly learn and master life skills—not just memorize how to take a standardized test. This month, we’re digging into how to foster true competency over test prep and prepare our kids for the future.

🗓️ Meetup Options:
In-Person: Thursday, Sept. 24 @ 6:30 PM (Grapevine, TX)
Virtual: Friday, Sept. 25 @ 8:30 AM (Via Zoom)

📖 Need a copy of the book?
Let us know in the comments by Monday evening! We are placing an order with our local partners at Talking Animals Bookstore on Tuesday, so drop a comment if you'd like us to reserve a copy for you.

🤝 Bring a Friend!
Is there someone in your network you can invite? Maybe someone you don't always agree with on policy, but who deeply cares about the future of GCISD. The more diverse viewpoints we hear and the better we listen to one another, the faster we can move forward together.

Share this post with a friend, tag them below, and let us know if they need a book ordered, too! See you there! ✨

Grab your morning coffee, stay in your PJs, and join us live to stay informed about our kids, our schools, and our community.

Our conversations this week around Priya Parker’s The Art of Gathering have been thoughtful and inspiring. We’ve loved diving into how we can bring more intention to the ways we gather across GCISD—from PTA meetings and booster clubs to district committees.

One of our favorite takeaways so far has been learning how to move away from "us vs. them" framing. The goal of this book club isn't to change anyone’s mind, but to build a place where we can authentically share our perspectives and really listen to one another.

If you haven't been able to make a session yet, this is your last chance to join the conversation! Since it's completely virtual, you can hop on from wherever you are.

It’s a great opportunity to connect, share ideas, and build bridges across our community.

📚We are officially kicking off the Pajamas & Policy Book Club! ✨

We survived the first week back to school, GCISD! 🎉 Whether you just survived school drop-offs and pick-ups this week, or are getting your GCISD grad settled in at their new adventure (college, work, or more), as we ease into our fall routines, it’s time to gather, connect, and build community together.

📕 Our August selection is The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters by Priya Parker.

We’ll explore how to gather with a clear purpose, establish healthy ground rules, and create spaces in our community where every voice matters.

To make sure everyone can participate, we’re offering three meetup options this month:
🗓 In-Person Evening: Thursday, Aug 20 @ 6:30 PM | Truva (Colleyville)
🗓 In-Person Morning: Friday, Aug 21 @ 9:00 AM | Harvest Hall (Grapevine)
💻 Virtual: Thursday, Aug 27 @ 5:00 PM | Zoom

👉 How to join: Please RSVP on our Facebook Event and drop a comment so we know which session you plan to attend!
