February is Lower School Reading Rally month at The Wilberforce School. During Reading Rally, we challenge ourselves to read more than usual, to meet new authors, and to discover different genres. This focused time of reading also reveals tremendous growth in our students as they develop stronger reading skills as well as a deeper love and appetite for reading.

Another goal of Reading Rally is to ask family and friends to sponsor our students. As students pledge to meet reading goals, sponsors pledge to donate money to our school. As you consider supporting the reading efforts of our students, know that you are investing in classrooms that reflect our love for learning, love for literature, and love for students.

This year, we are raising funds to build a library for our Upper Grammar students. As we redistribute and add books to both Lower School libraries, all students will have access to more age-appropriate books. Join us in equipping our new spaces with worthy books and encouraging our students in their commitment to reading. Donations are due Thursday, March 27th.
