Quest Elementary School students, teachers and families have been snuggling up to Humphrey, the hamster, this month beginning with a special “Family Literacy Evening” held at the school March 8.
The evening launched One School, One Book. Teacher-signed copies of The World According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney were distributed to families according to coordinator Katie Paxton-Johnson, event coordinator. “We had a variety of exhibits including librarians from Parma Public Library issuing library cards on the spot,” said teacher Katie Paxton-Johnson.
The Quest Book Fair was open and everyone received copy of The World According to Humphrey.” In the One School, One Book effort, families are expected to read one chapter per night.
