Join us for our One School, One Book program! This month, all Poplar Grove students, families and staff are reading the classic children's story, "The Cricket in Times Square". All families have been provided a copy of this book in their primary language, and students will enjoy participating in activities related to this book all month long. At yesterday's kick-off, students enjoyed a skit performed by Poplar Grove Staff and were also entertained by a local fiddle player, Mr. Ben Doetch.
One of our school goals this year has been to strengthen the home/family connection and to encourage family literacy. This project fits the bill perfectly!! The funding for our books was provided by the North Boone Education Foundation, and the treats students enjoyed on the first day were provided by the PG PTO. Parents have also sent in money to support the continuation of this program in the future.
The students were excited as they walked in to the school this morning and were especially proud to show off their reading logs!
