The TDSB’S Jewish Heritage Committee invites all grades 6 to 8 teachers and students to participate in the Canadian Premiere of Willesden Reads. Register today for this comprehensive educational program featuring a 50-minute FREE livestreaming theatrical performance based on the best-selling book, The Children of Willesden Lane.
