OPLC students are embarking on a seven-week reading adventure with this year’s One Book, One School selection, Toys! Amazing Stories Behind Great Inventions by Don Wulffson.

The program kicked off October 22 with a fun, interactive assembly where all students participated and received their own copy of the book to take home. The engaging book explores the fascinating and sometimes surprising histories behind popular toys, sparking curiosity, conversation, and a little fun along the way.

Throughout the program, students will explore the book’s stories and experience a selection of toys during Technology & Engineering class with Mrs. Giberson. Families are also encouraged to read together at home, choosing chapters that interest them and using the provided bookmark to track their discoveries.

The reading adventure will culminate on December 10 with a Family Literacy Game Night at OPLC, featuring games and literacy activities inspired by the book.

We look forward to seeing where this shared reading adventure takes our students and families!
