Thank you card from the students.
Upper Island literacy chair Chris Hannah with some of the 77 books collected for 2018. Upper Island also donated a cheque for $400.00 which the librarian used to purchase 24 books for their library.
A comment from the librarian Patrice “It was such a pleasure to meet you today and to learn more about the BC Hydro Upper Island Power Pioneers. Your commitment to making a positive impact in your community is so admirable. As I said in our meeting, I really wanted to use the $400.00 that your group has so generously offered to focus on reading materials for the more reluctant readers in our school. As discussed, graphic novels provide a very engaging support for readers whose ability might not match with their more mature interests.”
