creativity, expression, and above all: reading.\u00a0 The Reading Promise reading festival, hosted by the <span style=\"color: #a50034\"><a style=\"color: #a50034\"

District<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 It is aimed to give children with obstacles such as cost of books or the unavailability of a parent\/guardian to read to them a chance to experience the invigoration of stories that most of us take for granted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1654 aligncenter\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reading Promise encourages reading through a fun and exciting setting, in contrast to reading assigned by school which is often perceived as more of a chore.\u00a0 This inclusive and interactive environment was created with the help of numerous activities available to the children.\u00a0 Some of the opportunities included decorating bookmarks, face painting, and taking photo booth photos.\u00a0 The families received free snacks and delicious hot dogs for lunch.\u00a0 As for the reading itself, attendees got to listen to stories told by their favorite characters from Snow White to Spider-Man as well as generous volunteers.\u00a0 In accordance with the theme \u201cReading is Magic,\u201d appropriately, there were multiple showings of a magic show for the families to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most anticipated part of the event was the finale of the activities, which included the distribution of free backpacks filled with books for each of the children who partook in the event.\u00a0 By the end of the day, over 400 backpacks and books were given away to children of these underprivileged families, the record amount of any Reading Promise thus far out of the 5 years this event has been hosted.\u00a0 While many kids take such items for granted, the families at reading promise were ecstatic to receive these for free and expressed sincere thanks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1653 aligncenter\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The general joy and enthusiasm at Reading Promise spread from children, to parents, to the numerous volunteers that committed their time to helping plan and work this event.\u00a0 Volunteers included those from the Orange Elks, the Orange Public Library Foundation, and Chapman&#8217;s Office of Community Relations as well as Chapman University students and other local community members.\u00a0 Families were delighted for the opportunity to spend some quality bonding time together.\u00a0 Also, parents\/guardians were very encouraging of the instillment of the values of art and literature into their young ones.\u00a0 All in all, this event was a huge success, this year even more than any other year in the past.\u00a0 The Orange Elks are very overjoyed with the outcome of Reading Promise 2019 and are looking forward to planning next year\u2019s Reading Promise.<\/p>\n<p><a
