Darlington Book Drive:  Miles of Smiles: Books for Every Child


Grades > Pre-K to 8

Our motto for this year’s book drive is   Miles of Smiles: Books for Every Child” 

Books open doors to imagination, knowledge, and a lifelong love of reading—but not every child has access to them. Through this year’s book drive, we hope to change that by putting books into the hands of children in our Rome community and beyond.

Inspired by Upper School student Sophie Pillar’s Senior Venture Project, some of the books collected will even reach children in the Philippines—spreading the joy of reading near and far.

Living out Darlington’s motto, Service Beyond Self, students have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through this effort.

The book drive will run from March 20 through April 1, with a goal of collecting 2,500 children’s books. Students are encouraged to donate new or gently used books to their homeroom or advisor.

Thank you for helping us support this important effort. Every book donated helps a child begin their reading road trip.
