One Book One School
By Wendy Robertson, UES SLMC
This year Union Elementary students and families participated in the One Book One School program for the first time. Students were tasked with reading the book A Boy Called BAT with their families nightly. Students also participated in book themed activities and completed the A Boy Called Bat Bingo Board. Students who completed the Bingo Board received a food coupon from local businesses. The school was challenged to read 10,000 chapters. Students turned in their reading slips daily. Their daily reading also helped students earn points for their House. The One Book One School program was a HUGE success at Union and will become a yearly reading activity for our school!
