One School One Book
The 2018 One School, One Book selection, “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White, was revealed to Timmons Elementary School students last week, complete with a drumline greeting, creatively decorated building and special delivery containing a copy of the book for each student.
The program is like a giant book club, where everyone is reading or listening to the same book, participating in shared activities and developing a love of reading. The initiative is supported by the Timmons PTO and Chagrin Valley Rotary Club.
