Primrose preschoolers donate books

Preschoolers at the Primrose School of South Elgin and Algonquin helped provide books for local children in need during Read Across America Day on March 2.

“Primrose's philosophy and literacy goals directly align with Read Across America Day, and it was truly a great day for the community and the entire country to establish a regular reading routine, promote early childhood education and celebrate the power of literacy together,” said Laura Daniel, franchise owner.

The book donation drive is a part of “Og's Bountiful Books,” a Primrose reading program designed to encourage parents to read to their children at home and send in favorite books to school to share with their classmates and those in need. “OG” is the official Primrose school bookworm — as well as one of the school's character development mascots. The Og's Bountiful Books program is a key part of the Balanced Learning curriculum, which balances academics, play and character development.
