Hey Hilltoppers! Let's end the semester with a clear library account--bring back your overdue books today!

[Glenbard West HS @GWHilltoppers]

Amazingly powerful performances by Glenbard West's talented students and staff at the African American Read-In. Proud to be part of a school that celebrates all voices. Hats off to BSA, Mrs. Hollander, and the Equity & Inclusion Committee for organizing this event. #GoWest

This afternoon, our @GWHilltoppers English teachers (ft. @GWHS_Library) took a break from proctoring and grading for our annual book exchange. So many exciting titles!
Hey, Hilltoppers, what are you reading this break?

Love to see projects come to life in the library’s Creative Space! ❤️📚

Students in my African American Experiences in Lit class had a chance to do a gallery walk of peers’ work that focused on what confines and enhances their identity. Thanks for your help @Mrs_Furukawa! @GWEnglishDept

61 years ago today, 4 federal marshals escorted 6-year-old #RubyBridges to her 1st day of school (1st grade), as the 1st Black student to attend previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana.
