One Book, One School: Show us How You Shine!

3/16/2025 10:02 am

We learned this week, thanks to Fish in a Tree, that not everyone Shines the same way. Students may SHINE in many ways (e.g. music prodigies, sports superstars, coding genius, and much much more). Now, it’s their time to SHINE!

Here’s the fun part; We want to see YOUR CHILD in action! Each student can share a photo of what they’re amazing at and add a caption telling us about their talent! Students will be featured in a super cool slideshow in front of the library that will keep growing and get bigger.

Ready to get featured? Please submit your pic and caption to Meredith Wodka at mwodka@d181.org. Pictures will be collected all week long.

More details on how to submit are available HERE. We can’t wait to see all of the incredible talents!
