One School, One Book!
Welcome students and parents! The Bellmawr Learning Community is excited to announce a new summer reading initiative called One School, One Book. Both elementary schools will join together in this program to read the same book this summer. All students entering kindergarten thru 4th grade from Ethel M. Burke and Bellmawr Park schools will be required to read the novel: “The World According to Humphrey” by Betty G. Birney. This is the first in a series of books about a lovable classroom pet and his many adventures in and out of the classroom. We greatly encourage you to take the time this summer to read this book as a family activity. Please use the reading calendar under the resources tab to guide your reading of the novel. Additionally, students may hear some of their favorite teachers and staff members read the story aloud under the listen tab. Finally, we encourage you to answer blog questions that will be posted every Wednesday; we would love to hear from you as the summer progresses! Attach the hashtag #HangingWithHumphrey to any of your social media posts this summer. We can’t wait to see you reading!
