Why Are We Hosting the Reading is Fun Fundraiser?

Reading is one of the most powerful tools for a child’s growth. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children should be exposed to reading from birth. Literacy stimulates brain development, strengthens vocabulary, enhances memory and critical thinking, and supports social-emotional growth. It lays the foundation for success in school—and in life.

In our own community, the need is real. In Danville, 1 in 5 adults read below a 4th-grade level. We want to change that by inspiring our students not just to learn how to read, but to love reading. To honor the spirit of this fundraiser, a donation will also be made to Danville Project Literacy, extending the impact of your generosity beyond our school and into the wider community.

Beyond academics, reading plays a vital role in our students’ spiritual lives. The ability to read and understand scripture is essential for growing in faith and walking closely with God. Through this fundraiser, we aim to equip our students not only for academic success but also for a deeper relationship with the Word.

Let’s work together to build a community of strong, joyful readers. Because reading isn’t just fun—it’s essential for life today and for eternity!
