Heritage Lakes is considering doing a One Book One School program and we were wondering if anyone had ideas about a good book to choose for an entire school?

Part of our Strategic Plan is to Strive for optimal Learning environments. Providing environments that apply best practices for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. At Heritage Lakes students benefitted from presentations from Scarce on water sustainability.
