The Reading Jaguar Club gathered on Thursday, Feb. 23, for an afternoon that felt less like a meeting and more like a shared moment among friends. Students gathered around the table discussing a new book selection, exchanging thoughts, favorite passages, and personal connections to the story. The conversation was open and thoughtful, with each perspective adding something new to the discussion.

Members also listened to a short story reading during the event, which sparked fresh reactions and deeper conversation. Some reflected on the emotions behind the characters, while others shared how certain themes resonated with their own experiences. The reading created a quiet, attentive atmosphere that quickly turned into lively dialogue.

Creativity was just as important as conversation. Students designed their own wooden bookmarks using colorful markers and tassels, adding personal touches inspired by the stories they had explored. With snacks available on the table, the room felt warm and welcoming—a space where literature and laughter naturally came together.

The Feb. 23 event reflected what the Reading Jaguar Club is all about: building community through stories, creativity, and shared experiences
