[CASL-L] One Book One School

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Marybeth,

I know that One Book, One School programs are quite successful. Just
figured I'd throw out another idea. We have a Book Fest program (currently
in our 3rd year). Book clubs are a part of our Book Fest activities. Our
teachers choose different books; students then choose the book club they'd
like to join. We all read our books during our long Spring Recess, then we
meet in our book clubs after we get back. Teachers and students have really
enjoyed this program.

Kind regards,
~Valerie
