Every day leading up to their book title reveal, Dr. Gerald B. Probe School tweeted each of their previous One School, One Book picks. As you can see, they have read some awesome books together over the years! The Wild Robot Escapes by Peter Brown was chosen for their 11th year of reading together.

Dimnik is already planning next year’s read, and this time the entire Lethbridge School District of 14 schools will join together! In past years Dr. Gerald B. Probe has partnered with two other schools to read together, but this will be their first district-wide read. Dimnik says, “If it can happen like that on the Westside with three schools, can you just imagine what can happen with our whole district doing one book together?”

Check it out in the video below!

We have loved watching the program grow in Lethbridge and can’t wait to see what book they choose for the District next year!
