READATHON

It’s time for Richmond Friends School’s annual READathon – February 1-28.
This is RFS’s only family fundraiser, and it’s all about reading!

We invite friends, families, and community members to donate or pledge toward a student or classroom’s READathon goal. All donations go directly to support the school, as tuition only covers a portion of the operating expenses.

In addition to raising funds, the READathon reinforces the Quaker principle of SIMPLICITY and COMMUNITY. Students are not selling candy bars, popcorn, or wrapping paper. Instead, they are cultivating a passion for reading.

It’s easy to support your favorite RFS students! Click on the GREEN DONATE button and enter your donation. In the special instructions, please add “READathon” and the student or classroom you’d like to support.

Thanks for considering this request and for helping our students support our wonderful school!

In addition to our appreciation, you will receive a tax-deductible receipt for your gift.

Happy reading!

Testimonials

"In addition to all the things that you consider as studies, RFS is teaching students what makes you a good person and a person that can operate in a complicated world. That is what it means to me when RFS says it educates the whole child.”

- Alex Eastman- RFS Alum
"I was worried about finances, but the head of school sat down with me and was understanding of my circumstances and worked with me to create a plan so Juniper could attend. I was excited that she would get to be at a school where she can be anything she wants to be and everyone will accept and love her."
- Sunshine Rankin and Juniper Dixon
"When we place nature at the center of our community, we come to realize the true abundance of the world we live in. This school puts these seeds of hope in its students; it changes how they move through the world, and it changes the communities they enter for the better.”
- Kian Eckert - RFS Alum
"Day to day, week to week, we have seen big jumps from Nico and Johanna. They feel excitement. They come home, and they want to share what they’ve done in class that day."
- The Casas-Sheets Family
“We needed an opportunity to give our daughter a healthy environment to grow, and RFS aligns with our values. Lucy has built a lot of confidence and friendships at school, and we love that she gets to interact with younger kids which wouldn't be possible in a traditional school setting.”
- The Burkhardt Family
 

"The teachers at RFS are able to give so much attention to individual students, so they don't get lost in the crowd of a large class. I love that Garret feels safe trying things that he may be initially uncomfortable or nervous about."

- The Kirk Family
"Before enrolling here, Tristan struggled with dyslexia, which caused him to fall behind in reading. Thanks to the kind teachers and kids at RFS, Tristan is now reading at grade level and is beginning to enjoy it. He loves coming to school in the morning!"
- The Harris-Tyner Family
