UPDATED:Local schools set for book boost
Three in-need schools in our region – Christopher Lake Public School, Muskoday First Nation Public School and St Louis Public School- are in line for plenty of new books thanks to the Adopt-a-School program from the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation.
Indigo, Chapters and Coles stores across the nation are fundraising to help supply new books to almost 200 school libraries and the local schools stand to benefit in the coming weeks.
“Our book collection is quite lacking and old,” Student Support Services teacher at Christopher Lkae Public School Jody Harkness told paNOW. “So, in this day and age when technology is readily available to all our students it’s hard to compete with that, but getting new books is very exciting.”
Three Coles stores in Saskatoon will accept donations from customers and there is also an online component at adoptaschool.indigo.ca
