NBS Reads for the Record

On October 8, NBS students helped JumpStart set a world record by having more than 1,000,000 people read the same book on the same day.  Students read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle with their teachers and with other students, and teachers found ways to bring the caterpillar’s story and character into activities all day long.
