Camino Pablo Elementary School in Moraga held its annual Reading Round Up (Read-A-Thon and Book Drive) and student involvement was at an all-time high, with some grade levels reaching 100 percent participation. The CP community collected gently used book donations to benefit Reading Partners (www.readingpartners.org), a local, non-profit literacy program in the East Bay. The over 1,000 books donated will be used to help children enrolled in a one-on-one tutoring program build their home libraries. Principal Tom Rust explains, "Life skills are the foundation on which we build a community of learners at Camino Pablo School. The Read-A-Thon and Book Drive gave students an opportunity to raise money for their own school and think about others in the larger community, emphasizing the life skills of caring, cooperation, effort and respect."
