One Read is an exciting opportunity for families to come together across our school and community and share the joy that comes from reading the same book! One Book! One School! One Read! The 2025 One Read title for our school is The Very, Very Far North by Dan Bar El. Please join us in reading with your family each night. There are daily trivia questions about the previous night's reading and prizes too! *A novel was purchased for each family, coming home with the youngest sibling at CRES.
