Day of Reading launches. We have until March 22 to make our goal!
What is the Day of Reading?
The Day of Reading is a different kind of student fundraiser – one that inspires the imagination, links children together through the magic of storytelling, AND raises money for some exciting enhancements to our campus and programs. Our students look forward to their friends and family sponsoring them to spend a day at school doing what they love – reading!
Would you like to become a matching donor?
We are currently seeking a Matching Donor with the hope of having a total of $5,000 (or more) matching funds. Would you like to match or increase the amount? Email Jacqueline Valle, or call 646-8236 x153
Want to learn more about Day of Reading?
STUDENTS: After 18 days of inspiring friends and family to give, on March 22nd, the Oak Grove students will come to school in their jammies, along with a favorite stuffed toy and a treasured book. High School students will be paired with a buddy in the younger grades and the day will be spent exploring the magic of words and pictures.
GRANDPARENTS & PARENTS: Also on March 22nd, Oak Grove parents and grandparents are invited to come to school in their jammies (or at least something comfortable) and read too! You are welcome to visit your grandchild/child in the classroom. Please arrange this beforehand, directly with the student’s teacher.
Please sign in at the Main House Front Office at the start of your visit, where there will be Coffee, Tea, and Snacks available.
What are we raising funds for?
This year’s Day of Reading is different in a big way!
Fifty percent of the funds will go toward “Old MacDonald’s” organic gardening program in coordination with the Hot Lunch program. The other 50% will be shared with “Food for Thought,” an Ojai-based organization dedicated to providing education and healthful food options within the Ojai Unified School District. Read about their wonderful program here.
We are aiming to raise a total of $40,000. and sharing the wealth!
For more information, contact Warren Petersen: events@oakgroveschool.org. With your donation, we are closer to our goal.
Family and friends can help.
The event spreads beyond campus to extended family and friends, because each one of us can make a donation large or small to sponsor the Day of Reading.
Sponsor a student today.
Thank you for helping to make a difference.
“We want our two girls to be supported with a foundation of compassion, intellectual inquiry, and creative expression. We want them to build on the qualities of joy and curiosity that they embody right now so that they remain the essential parts of who they are as adults.”
