SOS Book Discussion - Up the Down Staircase 

Join us to discuss "Up the Down Staircase" by Bel Kaufman.

This timeless bestseller is about the hope, heartache, and hilarity of working in the public school system.

Hailed as “the funniest book written in America since Catch-22,” Up the Down Staircase spent over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, has been adapted for the stage, and was made into an award-winning feature film starring Sandy Dennis (New York Herald Tribune).

It remains an essential and highly enjoyable read that will leave you laughing and shaking your head at the same time.

Since this book focuses on an urban school, we chose the Clyde C. Miller Career Academy as our location. Students from the Academy will be serving lunch as part of their curriculum in Hospitality Management.

The cost for lunch is $12 per person.
