It’s that time of year again; school is almost out and summer reading is on! This year Darlington is excited to once again offer a summer reading program that allows students to serve a great cause and earn prizes at the same time. Readers to the Rescue is a marathon style program that uses minutes instead of miles to raise money for a good cause. 

This year, Darlington has chosen to support The Warrior Canine Connection, an organization created and run by veterans that raises and trains service dogs for veterans.

Every minute students read this summer will raise money for the Warrior Canine Connection. Students only need to log their minutes reading (or being read to!) on their tracking form and turn them in at the beginning of the school year. Darlington Library will calculate all minutes read and make a donation to the Warrior Canine Connection based on the total minutes read. 

We are asking all students to set a goal of 1000 minutes of reading this summer, but any amount of time spent reading helps us reach our goal. 

Summer is a special time for young people, rife with freedom and adventure. Thank you for choosing to spend your summer reading, growing, and serving a great cause with us!
