In this moment of coronavirus, respecting "stay at home"/"quedarse en casa" directives, we have postponed our Reading Festival and Copa Panchito events, which were to have been the culmination of our 2019-20 reading program in the schools. Publication of our annual anthology of student drawings and essays would have been a part of this. While we wait to determine how and when we can proceed, we present this virtual gallery of student work from our school program Somos Lectores ("We are Readers.")

As slide 2 tells you (in Spanish), this year's program serves over 1000 children reading the three books you see in the slide. Some students devoured the books, some browsed through them, some read the books in part... and some never succeeded in engaging with the books. This is all part of "the process" - working toward our mission of demonstrating to our community that reading today will bring a better tomorrow.

The selection of drawings in this gallery come from our invitation to 4th, 5th and 6th graders in 20 Rosarito schools. We received 458 drawings from 12 schools and here we present the 58 which best fulfilled our criteria for selection:
  • demonstrating an understanding of the books' themes
  • creativity
  • good use of art materials
  • adherence to format requirements
