Home and School earns $45,000 Reading Grant
Thanks to the very hard work of a few amazing volunteers on our Home & School Committee, Ian Forsyth has been selected as a recipient the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation Literacy Fund Grant! We are especially proud that we are the only school on the mainland of Nova Scotia to have been selected as a recipient this year.
The foundation has awarded us a grand total of $45,000! This incredible funding will be rolled out over the next three years to completely refresh our classroom and library collections. Get ready for brand-new decodable books for our youngest readers, dual-language texts, culturally responsive stories, and high-interest graphic novels designed to help every child find a true love for reading.
Getting Involved Doesn't Have to Mean a Big Commitment
Getting involved doesn't mean joining every committee or volunteering at every event.
Maybe you have an hour to help at Fun Fest. Maybe you donate something to the Holiday Bazaar. Maybe you buy a 50/50 ticket, send in cupcakes for an event, help set up tables, share a fundraiser with your family, or come to a Home & School meeting.
Five minutes helps. Five hours helps. It all adds up.
And when many families each do a little, no one family has to do a lot.
