In order to provide students with rich literature, invigorating activities and an environment that encourages reading for enjoyment, the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln sponsors Page One. This program is an extra-curricular activity for students attending a diocesan school. We strive to build strong readers who love discovery and learning.
Participants are invited to read the books that are on the Book List (see "resources") throughout the summer time and school year. These books are chosen by the Book Selection Committee. Selections begin with Golden Sower nominees, Newbery authors and other famous works. The book lists emphasize strong morals, real experiences and thought-provoking conflicts. Upon reading the texts, students may join his or her school's team and register for the various events put on by the Page One program.
