Someone Like Me by Julissa Arce

• Kent's popular annual tradition of an All School Read will happen the weeks of October 6 and 13.
• Author Julissa Arce will visit Kent virtually on October 21.

Here is a preview of the book from Julissa Arce's Website:

A remarkable true YA memoir from social justice advocate and national bestselling author Julissa Arce about her journey to belong in America while growing up undocumented in Texas.

Born in the picturesque town of Taxco, Mexico, Julissa Arce was left behind for months at a time with her two sisters, a nanny, and her grandma while her parents worked tirelessly in America in hopes of building a home and providing a better life for their children. That is, until her parents brought Julissa to Texas to live with them. From then on, Julissa secretly lived as an undocumented immigrant, went on to become a scholarship winner and an honors college graduate, and climbed the ladder to become a vice president at Goldman Sachs.

This moving, at times heartbreaking, but always inspiring story will show young readers that anything is possible. Julissa's story provides a deep look into the little-understood world of a new generation of undocumented immigrants in the United States today — kids who live next door, sit next to you in class, or may even be one of your best friends.

• Pick up the book at Book Passage (mention you are from Kent) or at the library. Or just listen as your teacher reads it, although we encourage all students to get a copy of the inspiring book.

Climb, swing, slide and zip! We're celebrating the new school year with the opening of our new KIK Community Playground at Bacich! Serving our students and Kentfield/Greenbrae community, the playground area and structure is entirely new and features the already popular swing addition and new Gaga pit.

We are so fortunate to have a structure that is modernized, serves all the children, and will be a safe and beautiful place for kids for years to come. We hope to involve the kids in officially naming the playground, so stay tuned!

Tremendous gratitude to our Fund-a-Need 2019 Donors, KSD Board of Trustees, Principal Mary Ann Spitzer, Superintendent Raquel Rose, and especially Mr. Paul Miller for making it happen this summer. THANK YOU!
