What is Read for Ronald McDonald House?
Read for RMHC is a reading-based community service program where participating elementary school students ask family/friends to sponsor the minutes they spend reading. All donations sponsoring Castleton Elementary student reading time during March will support the RMHC-CR. The program empowers CES students to develop lifelong reading skills while supporting the families served by RMHC-CR. Students who read and earn donations can also receive a Read for RMHC participation certificate and Read for RMHC prizes.
