One District, One Book
Our elementary literacy teams, including Suzanne here at Richmond Elementary, are teaming up to bring the One School, One District opportunity to all three of our ROCORI Elementary Schools! Please see this powerpoint, uploaded in our Richmond Teams page, for classroom information. Each of our families will receive a book at conferences next week labeled with their last name, a welcome letter, a bookmark and school calendar indicating pages to read each evening. Please see this link for more details about the program: ROCORI One District One Book. Thank you for embracing this opportunity to build trusting relationships through a shared literature experience with our families! As we know, our Kids Deserve It! #spartansbelivespartansachieve
