'Glendale One Book' Program

Glendale Education Foundation begins “Glendale One Book” Program
 
2020 was our  LAST YEAR that the Glendale Education Foundation participated in the state-wide “PA One Book” Program for our K-1 primary students at Glendale Elementary School:

• Spring 2016, the students received the book:  Kite Day: A Bear and Mole Story by author/illustrator Will Hilenbrand
• Spring 2017 it was Daniel Finds a Poem by Micha Archer
• Spring 2018 the PA One Book was My Cousin Momo by Zachariah Offshore
• Spring 2019 the book was titled Not A Box by Antoinette Portis
• Spring 2020 students took home book:  Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! by author/illustrator Bob Barner

Starting in Spring 2022, following the COVID mandatory shutdown of 2021, the Glendale Education Foundation went off on our own to sponsor what we call the "GLENDALE ONE BOOK" Program--our own version of the "PA One Book" --> but now featuring area specific topics centered on an inter-curricular book that our Glendale kids will enjoy and be able to explore in-depth with fun, educational activities--and receive that book for FREE!  Child literacy expertise of board members Patty Kimberly and Diane Andrews will continue to work with the K-1 classroom instructors to choose the book for Spring 2023!   Stay tuned for details!
