A Message from MJT Principal, Mrs. Taylor:

On Monday, April 13th, 2026 we began the One School, One Book program.

We sent home the book "Gooseberry Park and the Master Plan" by Cynthia Rylant and illustrated by Arthur Howard.

Please set aside a few minutes each evening to read a chapter with your student.

Some students may want to read to their stuffed animals or action figures, or may even want an older sibling to read to them!

There will be a trivia contest on our morning announcements each day.

The schedule is attached below, and a paper copy was sent home yesterday.

Congratulations to our first winners of the daily trivia contest about this book:

Kendall Currier

Hazel Holmes

Anthony Tagliento

Mila Nestle

Please feel free to send Mrs. Taylor btaylor@granvillecsd.org or Mrs. Rozell krozell@granvillecsd.org some photos of your student reading the book at home for our website and newsletter.

Happy Reading!
