One School, One Book

Rowayton's One School, One Book Reveal!

We are thrilled to announce our 2025 celebration of One School, One Book beginning today.  The World According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney!

One School, One Book is an event that takes place at schools across the country. Schools choose a book to read all together. For one month, students get to read with their teachers, family, and friends – they can even read to pets!

We are sharing a link to recordings of read alouds for the chapters of the book for families to follow along at home. As we read, students will have the opportunity to participate in many activities and lessons. We will have some art displays, bulletin boards, celebrations, and special announcements! There will also be raffles and contests, so be sure to keep up on your reading.

The World According to Humphrey is a children's novel about a golden hamster named Humphrey who makes a positive difference in the lives of the students and staff at Longfellow School. Humphrey narrates the story as he tells about his experiences as a classroom pet.  The story includes important themes about friendship, responsibility, and open mindedness.

Thanks to Miss Curri and the PTA One School, One Book Committee for building this special experience for our students!
