One School, One Book

Help me give my students and their families the gift of reading together.

My Project

I am requesting 100 copies of Roald Dahl's, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" for our "One School, One Book" experience. Teacher and staff selected the book because of it's appeal to all ages. On the surface, the book is a light-hearted tale of fantasy. On a deeper level, it is a lesson in developing one's values in life.

The shared experience of reading will unite our families and our school community.

We will begin the experience in January and have activities every month to make the experience even more fun and meaningful.
