One Book, One School
Dogtown by Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko
One School, One Book is back at Deer Park for Fall 2024! This year classroom teachers will be reading Dogtown by Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko to all students at school! Everyone will be reading or listening to the same pages on the same day as we strengthen our sense of community through the shared joy of reading and literacy. Families are invited to join us in our reading adventure and talk about this fantastic story with their children. (See reading schedule below)
A little bit about Dogtown from a summary on Amazon…Dogtown is a shelter for stray dogs, misbehaving dogs, and discarded robot dogs, whose owners have outgrown them. Chance, a real dog, has been in Dogtown since her owners unwittingly left her with irresponsible dog-sitters who skipped town. Metal Head is a robot dog who dreams of being back in a real home. And Mouse is a mouse who has the run of Dogtown, pilfering kibble, and performing clever feats to protect the dogs he loves. When Chance and Metal Head embark on an adventure to find their forever homes, there is danger, cheese sandwiches, a charging station, and some unexpected kindnesses along the way.
In conjunction with this program, we will be hosting a supply drive for the Fairfax County Animal Shelter….be on the lookout for further details about how you can help!
We hope you will read along with us from
September 9 – October 9!
