The Cocalico Education Foundation purchases a book for an entire school to read together, creating a shared reading experience for students, teachers, and families. Teachers may incorporate the book into classroom lessons, discussions, and activities, while some encourage students to take the book home and read it with their families.

By bringing students, teachers, and families together through a shared story, the One Book, One School initiative encourages a love of reading, sparks conversation, and builds connections throughout the school community.
