Title: Read Together Palm Beach County

Recommendation:
I recommend the School Board adopt the Proclamation recognizing April 2006, as Read Together Palm Beach County Month, and encourage everyone to read the book, To Kill A Mockingbird.

Description: The reading campaign, Read Together Palm Beach County: One Book, One Community, will occur from March 17 through April 30, 2006.  This countywide event, begun in 2002, has involved as many as 30,000 people in the past and has succeeded in bringing the entire community together as they read and discuss the same text.  The School District encourages students, teachers, administrators and non-instructional employees to participate by reading this year's selection, To Kill A Mockingbird, and by joining book discussion groups and attending special Read Together events.

Financial Impact:
None
