TranslateDear Parents,
We would like to personally invite you to join us in making a difference in the lives of the children at Essex Public School by supporting us in the upcoming Indigo Adopt a School program.
There are three ways that our community can support our school online at adoptaschool.indigo.ca
1. Book Bonus: For every two books you donate to our school online, the Love of Reading Foundation will donate a bonus book, up to 100 books!*
2. Tell a Story, Give a Story. Every time you post a story to our Adopt a School profile, the Love of Reading Foundation will donate one book in support of our school library, up to 20 books!
3. Adopt a School Story Contest: “Heart” your favorite story to help a school for a chance to win* big! The five most-loved stories in each province will be entered into a random draw for a chance to win a $2,500 Indigo eGiftcard to purchase books for their adopted school. The remaining four top “hearted” schools in each province will win a $500 Indigo eGiftcard to purchase books! Choose wisely because you only get one shot to “Heart” a story!
* The Love of Reading Foundation values a book at $10. To learn more, see our Program Overview and Contest Details pages.
Our school is going to receive every dollar raised to support our library and a 30% discount off books when we shop at Indigo, Chapters and Coles using program donations.
As you may know, our current annual library budget is $4000 which is approximately $14.00 per student. Through the Adopt a School program, we are hoping raise enough money to put one new book in the hands of each and every one of our students!
Please visit adoptaschool.indigo.ca from September 16 to October 8 to show your support for our library! We look forward to surprising the staff and children at Essex Public School with all the new library books this year!
Sincerely,
J. Harry Quon, Principal
Leslie Tumangday, Vice Principal
