| 1 Book, 1 School Initiative at PGMS |
PGMS has joined the one book, one school challenge. One School/District, One Book is a program designed to create a shared reading experience across an entire school. Schools choose a novel and provide every student – in the school – with a copy. Following a common schedule across the school, every student reads that book together during a common time.
Our book is “We Beat the Streets” It's an excellent book about how three friends from the neighborhood who supported each other and became doctors.
