✨ NEW: “Coins for Curiosity” Launch Fairmont, WV – February 17, 2026
A generous local supporter has launched our “Coins for Curiosity” program at Fairmont Catholic Grade School. This initiative donated a collection of our nature and social-themed books to the school library.
To celebrate, 140 custom meme coins and "Certificates of Insight" were provided to students to reward their completion of the reading challenge. We are inspired by this anonymous advocate’s commitment to sparking imagination and positive values in young readers.
