Reading Is Fundamental
2007
Date - Wednesday, April 4! |
|

Reading is Fun, better known as RIF, is a nation wide
event that promotes reading literacy. R.I.F. usually
takes place the first week of April. During this
time KDP members volunteer their time reading to local
schools and partake in special reading events throughout
the week. In April of 2006 we held a Pajama Party at the
Portage County Library. Families from all over the
Stevens Point area were invited. Each child that
attended the event not only received a free book, but
was given the opportunity to spend some quality time
reading with a KDP member. Bedtime snacks were also
provided. Along with the above activities we had a bake
sale on campus that helped raise money for local
agencies within our community. All together we collected
over 300 books and donated over a $150.00 to local
agencies to help enhance their literacy programs. This
was a wonderful event and we are super excited for next
year!
