The Timberlane Regional School District held a meeting on June 5, 2025, where Sandown North Elementary School showcased its successful "One School, One Book" initiative. Principal Lauren Asick and librarian Laura Ross presented the program, which aimed to foster a community-wide reading experience by providing every student and staff member with a copy of the same book.

The initiative, which included local businesses as partners, encouraged students to engage with the book through various activities and events. Students participated in trivia contests at local establishments, such as the post office and local restaurants, where they could earn raffle tickets for prizes. The program not only promoted reading but also strengthened community ties, as families and local businesses collaborated to support the initiative.

During the presentation, students shared their experiences, expressing excitement about the book and the activities. They participated in art projects related to the story and even created commercials based on their reading. Feedback from local business partners highlighted the positive impact of the program, noting increased engagement from families and community members.

The meeting concluded with a discussion on the program's success and the potential for future initiatives, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in education. The Sandown North team expressed enthusiasm for continuing the "One School, One Book" program, suggesting it could be expanded with different titles in the future.
