This year's One Book Blitz is February 3rd-28th, 2025
Embedded Files
Every K-5th grade student in Alcoa, Blount County, and Maryville City Schools is receiving his or her own personal copy of a book thanks to the generosity of our community sponsors. We hope you will embrace the excitement of this project and set aside about 15 minutes each evening to read with your child. You can find read aloud videos and discussion questions at the links below, which will be live after the kickoff date. Parent Letter (English) en Español Japanese
