ESMS Community Coffee Morning
Join us on Tuesday 6 May from 10am-12pm for a special morning bringing together pupils past and present to celebrate the joy of reading over coffee, conversation and a few light-hearted book related games. This time we will be at The Dean, 67 Dean Path, Edinburgh EH4 3BG.
Which books from your school days have stayed with you? Are there any you wish you’d discovered earlier? And how do different generations connect with literature in different ways? This is a chance to chat with our pupils, reflect, share experiences, and pick up a new reading recommendation or two.
