Presentation by Bev Cordray- The reading teachers have discussed the 1 district 1 book. It is a program where each family in the district including teachers and employees will get the same book to read at the same time. The book is the Trumpet of swan. There will be a reading schedule so everyone is reading the same parts so they can discuss
it as a community. There will be an assembly, trivia questions, and projects to go along with the program. When a whole community reads a book there is a lot to talk about. Knights of Columbus and the Lions den along with the PTA will be sponsoring our membership to allow this program plus Scholastic will be giving us a discount on the books. It is $250 per school to become a lifetime member and we will need about 1,700 books. March 1st is the kickoff.
