The Upper Perkiomen Education Foundation (UPEF), in partnership with QNB Bank and Stauffer Glove & Safety, is proudly supporting students at Marlborough and Hereford elementary schools through the One School, One Book Program, a literacy initiative geared toward early learners.

           A highlight of the program includes students and teachers each receiving their own copy of a selected text to read aloud together in classrooms throughout the month. Reading specialists and principals at both schools kicked off the program with school-wide assemblies.  Students cheered as this year's book was revealed while QNB Bank's mascot, QuiNBy the "Savings Squirrel", shared many high-fives with students.

           The UPEF gives special thanks to QNB Bank, Stauffer Glove & Safety, reading specialists, school principals, and teachers for their collective support of the program.

            UPEF is the only philanthropic organization collaborating directly with school leadership to align the investments of private foundations, corporations and businesses, community organizations and individual donors with strategies that impact the success of students in the Upper Perkiomen School District.
