Concluding on Read Across America Day each year to recognize the importance of reading and promote literacy in young children, schools host Og's Bountiful Book Drive during the month of February. The charitable giving effort is part of the Primrose Promise℠ Corporate Social Responsibility program, which is driven by the brand's mission to forge a path that leads to a brighter future for all children.

"Reading lays the foundation for a lifetime of key skills and lessons," said Amy Jackson, chief early learning strategy officer at Primrose Schools. "Through service projects like Og's Bountiful Book Drive, Primrose teachers nurture a love of reading while learning the importance of sharing and caring for others."

As part of the exclusive Balanced Learning^® approach, Primrose balances academics and character development in the classroom by fostering positive character traits in young learners through real-life experiences like Og's Bountiful Book Drive. Children aged three-years-old and up actively participate by:

• Sorting and organizing books to be donated to local libraries, charities and organizations benefiting underserved children.
• Partnering with their parents to choose gently used books from home and purchase new books to donate.
• Storytime and presentations with special guests from benefiting organizations to learn more about how their efforts will directly impact their communities.
• Field trips to drop off book donations.

Og^® the bookworm is one of 12 Primrose Friends embedded in the Balanced Learning curriculum. Each Friend models a valuable character trait, and Og's trait is caring. Click here to learn more about how Primrose students learn the importance of giving without expectation and cultivate a love of reading, writing and learning year-round.
