Created in 2002, We Share A Story is an innovative literacy program
offering students around the world an opportunity to share a chosen book.
In 2008, 22 schools in 12 countries were involved in the exchange.
Each of the 22 schools worldwide received and read
Somewhere Today: A Book of Peace by Shelley Moore Thomas during
International Education Week, November 17 - 23. Each
participating classroom prepared a classroom introduction packet to share
with their "sister schools" around the world. These packets included
photographs, letters, drawings and other items of interest to children in a
faraway land. All schools were encouraged to maintain their "sister
school" relationships in 2009.
