Brookside Launches ‘One School One Book’ Campaign

Brookside students had a howling good time at their “One School One Book” kickoff assembly on February 28!

Every K-3 student in the entire school will read “The Secret Explorers and the Desert Disappearance,” in which a team of explorers set off into the Mexican desert to rescue a pack of wolf cubs.

But the fun doesn’t stop once they have finished reading!

Brookside will continue their exploration of Mexican wolves and the Chihuahuan Desert with fun activities, where students will learn about the importance of protecting wolves. The school has even adopted Trumpet, a 7-year-old Mexican gray wolf who resides at the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem. Classrooms will be able to check in on Trumpet through live webcams. Third graders will visit the center later this year.

The “One School One Book” campaign also includes a “Save the Wolves” fundraiser, with magnets being sold to benefit the Wolf Conservation Center.

A special thank you to the Brookside PTA for their support of the “One School One Book” program!
