The Wilton Education Foundation‘s (WEF’s) fourth annual “Reading Rocks!” program is a fun, non-competitive Read-A-Thon program for Wilton students in Pre-K through 5th grade. In its first three years, this program raised more than $110,000 total for Wilton schools, and the Foundation is kicking off the fourth year when kids return to school after winter break.
Children in Miller-Driscoll and Cider Mill schools will receive a pledge form sent home in their backpack with details on Jan. 8, but they can get a jump on pledges from visiting relatives over the holidays by logging into edline.net and downloading the form from the virtual backpack, or by printing it from the WEF website.
One of the favorite features of the program is the day pledge forms are due to be returned to school, which this year falls on Jan. 23. That’s when participating students can dress like a rock star. The reading period then runs Jan. 24 – Feb. 8.
