Oneco Elementary School: 

Mrs. Ruch's first-grade class is one of several Oneco classes participating in Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading's 'This Book is Cool' program! This week they read the book "Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie" and learned about honesty and story retelling. Each student received a copy of the book to take home thanks to the generosity of The Patterson Foundation.
