GRAPEVINE, Texas — Anyone who thinks students are not watching the rowdy meetings or listening to the heated debates happening at the highest levels of their school districts needs to meet Tommy Rogers. He says students see it all and hear it all. 'Books mean everything to me, and I can't stand the thought of that being taken away from me or other students,' Rogers said. Rogers is a 16-year-old junior at Grapevine High School in Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD).  With school administration approval, he just founded the "Challenging Themes Book Club" at Grapevine High.
