One School, One Book Program at Fairfield Elementary School

During 2012—2013, every student, grades pre-K through fifth, received a copy of the novel The World According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney. Parents are encouraged to listen to their children read or read to them. Follow-up at school generates enthusiasm for reading. A book talk and a family night featuring art, discussion, and prizes is the culmination of this community-wide reading program.
