Charlotte Bradsher will host, and Pat Sutton will lead our discussion. We will be discussing The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. A story of Henrietta Lacks, a poor Black woman whose cancer cells were taken without her consent in 1951 and became the first "immortal" human cell line (HeLa), revolutionizing medicine by aiding in the polio vaccine, cloning, and gene mapping. The book explores the intersection of race, class, and medicine, detailing the ethical issues surrounding informed consent and the Lacks family's struggle to understand their mother's legacy and their own medical history.

Reach Day Volunteer Opportunity

Help us serve a little comfort! Sign up to provide dinner items for our SV Mother's Day Out staff. Bring items to the SV GYM KITCHEN on Restore Day (Sunday, April 19). Bring prepared casserole cold or frozen (do not cook). Garlic bread will be refrigerated, and Brownies will be stored at room temperature. Please follow the shared casserole recipe so every teacher receives the same meal. For those providing a casserole, foil pans with a recipe are in the main foyer inside the white cabinet, if that would be helpful to you. Thank you for your heart for serving our SV family!!
