One School - One Book
For the past four years, Dr. Probe School has been involved in a school wide project known as One School - One Book, where students are given their own copy of the book and read it at home aloud as a family. The goal of this project is to "bring literature to life" through reading aloud and sharing the book at home. Dr. Probe was the first international school to sign up for this reading program which originated in Richmond, Virginia.
