We are so very excited to come together as a school community to read this heartwarming story!

More information can be found in our PARENT LETTER (linked here).

In addition, don't forget that we have an ALL SCHOOL READ website (linked), where you can find the trivia questions, information about the book and the authors, information about our upcoming Family Literacy Night, as well as videos of staff reading the various chapter sections!

A huge thank you goes out to our amazing HSA! They once again funded this event, buying a book for every household!

Happy Reading,
