Reading Initiative

Lorelei Y8 has been busy creating a small reading initiative called Once Upon a Page. The idea came from her love of books and her wish to help other children enjoy reading and have access to more stories. Through fundraising and community support, she raised £66, which allowed her to purchase over 150 books.

During February's Inset day, Lorelei spent the day personally delivering book bundles to 14 local primary schools, with each school receiving around 10 books. She was very proud to hand these over herself and to hear directly from schools how helpful donations like these are, particularly given current funding pressures.

In addition, she also donated four baby books to Baby Club Cheshire, supporting early reading for younger children.

 Lorelei’s enthusiasm for reading, her independence, and her desire to contribute positively to the wider community is something we hope she is very proud of. It has been a wonderful learning experience for her, and one she has taken great responsibility for. Well done Lorelei.
