A Book Club for Educators

Harvey Foundation Educator Book Club

For the past two years, the Harvey Foundation Educator Book Club has brought Nantucket educators together through the shared experience of reading a common book. More than just a book club, it is an opportunity to connect with colleagues across schools, exchange ideas, and strengthen our educational community.

Each winter, participants receive a complimentary book to enjoy at their own pace before gathering in March for an evening of thoughtful discussion, meaningful conversation, and celebration. The event also features our popular Free Book Bar, where educators can browse and take home new titles to inspire their classrooms and their own professional growth.

Whether you’re a lifelong reader or simply looking for a chance to connect with fellow educators, the Harvey Foundation Educator Book Club offers a welcoming space to learn, reflect, and grow together.

Books to Boost for All Kindergartners

Books to Boost

The Harvey Foundation’s Books to Boost program is dedicated to fostering a love of reading and supporting early literacy by putting books directly into the hands of our youngest learners. This year, every kindergarten student at Nantucket Elementary School received a special book bag filled with brand-new books, engaging literacy activities, crayons, and cozy hats and gloves to enjoy at home.

By providing children with the tools to read, create, and explore beyond the classroom, Books to Boost helps build confidence, encourages family reading time, and inspires a lifelong love of learning. It is one small way the Harvey Foundation is investing in the future of Nantucket’s children one book, one backpack, and one student at a time.
