One Book One School H-BC Elementary is participating in One Book, One School. We are reading the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio.   It’s a great way to celebrate the success of an individual that is “different”.  Many life lessons are taught.  Ask your child about Wonder.  Each class and subject area will have many different activities surrounding this book for the entire month of May.  Thank you to the H-BC Elementary PTO for their generous purchase of books for our grades 3-5 students and staff members!
