Westview Community School Is Celebrating New Reading Progam

Dec 7, 2010 | 6:19 PM

At Westview School – a wonderful reading program sponsored by Indigo Books will be celebrated along with our Christmas Festivities December 16th. The Day will start with a Christmas concert for all the grades, followed by a large dinner for the students, one parent, staff and special people who have donated time or resources to the school throughout the year.

This will be followed by a celebration of the new reading program.

Westview has received a large grant from Indigo's Love Of Reading program. This enabled the school to take each student of the school – 50-60 per trip to the Indigo store in Saskatoon to select books. The trip was assisted by the Prince Albert Ice Hawks who supplied the school with the use of their bus.

Ice Hawks will also be coming to the school to read some of the purchased books to the students.

The grant has enabled us to supply our library and classrooms with resources we never thought possible, allowing us to truly open a world of opportunity to our students.

Since 2004, 90 schools from across Canada have been selected as Indigo Love of Reading Foundation schools.

Some are urban; some are rural. The communities they serve are diverse, and the students at each school face different challenges.

The schools are all very different from the outside—but once you step inside, you can see and feel what draws these schools together into a powerful force that will change our country’s future.

Inside, libraries at Love of Reading schools are open and full of students. Shelves are filled with new and interesting books to explore. Posters invite kids to join a poetry group, watch a video of To Kill a Mockingbird after school or see a visiting ballet troupe perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Children are supported, nurtured and inspired.

Each Love of Reading school is united in a common goal—to inspire a life-long love of reading in their young charges.

These schools were chosen because they are dedicated to making a difference in their students’ lives. They worked to spark a love of reading with scarce resources, put in long volunteer hours and sometimes reached into their own pockets to buy books and fund much-needed programs to encourage literacy.
