Note: If your Club vote is successful, we also want to give you as much lead time as possible to borrow or purchase the required texts (if any) in time for your Club meetings! We have included Bookshop affiliate links to those works below. If families decide to purchase books using those links, Signum University will earn a small commission for each purchase. We thank you!
