Reading with Roz

When long-time Restonian Roz Rakoff approached us with an idea to distribute books to students at South Lakes High School during their weekly shopping trips at the PTSA Food Pantry, we immediately agreed to get involved. Through a partnership with Scrawl Books, an independent bookstore located at Reston Town Center, and guidance from our own favorite librarian, Kim Sigle, Roz selects and delivers books to the pantry regularly. Since the first book delivery in December, 2022, the program has been extremely popular with students. 

Welcome to Reston, Dolly!

Dolly Parton Imagination Library is now in Reston! The organization mails free books to children each month from the time they are born until they turn 5 years old. Dolly started the project to raise the literacy rate in her home town, and it worked! She has since partnered with local charities nationwide to expand and reach more children.

How can the Imagination Library help make better readers? Read about it here.

Cardboard and Duct Tape

Picture
​The Lake Anne Cardboard Boat Regatta is a greatly anticipated annual event in Reston. Building a boat using only cardboard and duct tape that can carry a passenger, stay afloat, and move with speed is an engineering challenge for adults and children alike. For the 2022 and 2023 races, the RoSigle Foundation was the School Sponsor, which gave every Reston elementary, middle, and high school the opportunity to create a boat building team and enter their build in the competition. STEAM on, kids!

Fill The Backpacks!

Every year Kids R First fills thousands and thousands of backpacks with school supplies destined for public schools across Northern Virginia. In 2022 and 2023, RoSigle was the backpack sponsor for Dogwood Elementary School in Reston, covering the cost of backpacks and supplies for every student in need at the school.
