One Book, One School, One Community
Continuing what was started last year, each student will be responsible for reading I Will Always Write Back: How One Letter Changed Two Lives this summer as part of our One Book, One School, One Community program.
The program requires each student to read the book before the start of the 2024-25 school year. We have developed a more streamlined, but also a more strategic, plan to implement the book into our school year.
We’ve also expanded the program to include One Community - as we invite parents, guardians, grandparents and siblings to read the book as well. This story will inspire you to look beyond your own life and wonder about the world at large and your place in it - a story everyone could benefit from.
It started as an assignment... Everyone in Caitlin's class wrote to an unknown student somewhere in a distant place.
Martin was lucky to even receive a pen-pal letter. There were only ten letters, and fifty kids in his class. But he was the top student, so he got the first one.
That letter was the beginning of a correspondence that spanned six years and changed two lives.
In this compelling dual memoir, Caitlin and Martin recount how they became best friends—and better people—through their long-distance exchange.
You can find the book on Amazon.
