SPONSOR A SCHOOL TO READ
It’s a fact that the more people in Rosarito who read, the better the quality of life in our community. With that in mind, in 2006 Friends of the Library was formed to encourage reading throughout the city.
What is Rosarito Lee?
Rosarito Lee (Rosarito Reads) is our city-wide reading program, now in its sixth year of operation. The schools have come to know our program as Copa Panchito, the name of the jeopardy style reading contest at the culmination of the program. 4th through 6th grade classes read the heartwarming stories in books by Francisco Jimenez and Viola Canales. This year we will again serve thousands of elementary students.
What is a School Sponsor?
Your $200 school sponsorship enables Friends of the Library to purchase 40 books, enough for an entire grade level for one school. In some schools, 40 books serve as many as 120 young readers – so each book you help buy touches several hearts and minds. Last year, sponsors joined us as individuals, as families, as businesses and as groups.
Are there special Rosarito Lee activities?
Rosarito Lee students write compositions and create drawings relating to the books' themes and compete in an inter-school Jeopardy-style competition with questions taken from the books - the four finalist schools compete for the Panchito Cup (Copa Panchito) in a contest at IMAC Cultural Center.
Who can be a School Sponsor?
Any and all can sponsor a school and enable these young readers to participate in Rosarito Lee's many enriching activities.
Each Sponsor or Sponsor Group is recognized on our website and as an honored Sponsor at the inter-school Copa Panchito Finale each year.
You cannot give yourself a better gift than the thanks and appreciation of scores of young readers who learn to love reading because of your generosity.

"I have to say that was the best $200 I ever spent. I got so much more out of it than I put in! The kids were great and their parents were so very nice to me. The event was spectacular - a really big deal for the kids. It was my first time seeing the color guard and the national anthem... Thanks for all your hard work and for getting me involved. I loved it!” -- from a School Sponsor at the Copa Panchito Final
