One District, One Book is Coming Soon!

This is one of our most looked-forward-to events of the year! Every Pre-K through 8th grade family will receive a book to take home and read together. At school, students will enjoy trivia, prizes, thoughtful class discussions, and a final celebration that connects to the heart of the story.

We are so excited to get started… but you’ll have to wait just a little longer for the big title reveal! 😉

While you wait, here’s your next hint:

Survival. Adaptation. Belonging.

Any guesses???

Quemado Independent School #2
