Lincoln-Eliot Elementary School invites you to our
One Book, One Community Celebration
Please join us outside on Friday, May 28, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. to watch Lincoln-Eliot students tie their wishes to our very own Wishtree in front of our school.
DLA families are encouraged to participate as well! Look for a message from your teachers this week with more information, and there will be wish tags and ribbons provided for all our DLA students.
For 6 weeks, the Lincoln-Eliot Elementary School has enjoyed listening to members of our community read the book Wishtree, by Katherine Applegate. This charming story has themes of being welcoming to everyone and respecting “otherness” in our neighbors.
In the book, the main character, Red, is the town’s Wishtree. Each year, townspeople of all ages write a wish on a piece of fabric and tie their wish to Red.
If you haven’t seen it already, there was a lovely write-up about this project in the Newton Tab:
Don’t forget to check out our LE Wishtree Website for more information and resources about the book! Thank you to the LE PTO and the Frugal Bookstore for providing the books for each family, and a big thank you to Ms. Jeanne Conley and the literacy team for putting this all together!
