📚✨ **Big Literacy News for Our Families!** ✨📚
Divide County Elementary School is excited to share that, thanks to a generous grant from the John & Elaine Andrist Trust, we will be launching the One School One Book program at both Divide County Elementary and Burke Central School!
One School One Book is a shared reading experience where every student and staff member reads the same book at the same time—building excitement, connection, and meaningful conversations at school and at home. ❤️📖
📅 Mark Your Calendars:
*February 27 – Kickoff Assembly 🎉 (materials will be sent home that day!)
*March 2 – We begin reading together
Families will be asked to read one chapter per weeknight, with weekends as catch-up days.
Each morning at school, we’ll share a fun trivia question connected to the previous night’s chapter during announcements. Teachers will have opportunities to incorporate the story into classroom activities, and our staff will be engaging students in conversations about the book throughout the month.
We’ll wrap up our reading just in time for a special celebration on April 7!
🎉 Literacy Night will be held from 4:30–6:00 PM, with fun, interactive activities for students and families to enjoy together.
We’re keeping the title of the book a surprise until our kickoff assembly 👀📚 After the assembly, we’ll share an updated post revealing the book and providing a copy of the full reading calendar—including the reading schedule and our themed dress-up days!
We are incredibly excited about this shared reading journey and so grateful to the John & Elaine Andrist Trust for making this opportunity possible for our students and families. Stay tuned… the adventure begins soon! 💙📚
Be sure to get out and cheer on the basketball and hockey teams!

Let’s push our boys into the district tournament.

One game. One mission.
