One Book, One School!
Families in Kindergarten through Grade 6, check your child's backpack on Friday, February 27. They will come home with a letter explaining our One Book One School program, a reading calendar, and a copy of the book "Friendship According to Humphrey". This is an opportunity for families to come together and read a chapter every night, along with the rest of our BEST family community. Students will have a chance to win small prizes during school, by answering questions about the chapter they read the night before!
