On Friday, February 1st, Ryerson School embarked on its One Book, One Ryerson journey which will run throughout the month. The entire school community (every student, teacher, paraprofessional, administrator, nurse, custodian, and lunch aide) will read the book, "Aesop Fables", retold by author Ann McGovern. Students were given clues throughout the month of January to try and guess the chosen book. Every child unwrapped his/her book following a kick-off assembly. Fifth grade stars, Samantha Laracuente and Hailey Jensen contributed to the assembly with a Readers’ Theater Performance of “The Tortoise and the Hare”, while Board Member Suzanne Pudup read the fable aloud. The One Book, One Ryerson Initiative promotes the idea of a community of shared readers.
