We have submitted a $2,200 grant request via ReDi to get money to support purchasing books and a nice reading chair for the school library.
What: Parents are invited to come and vote yes to supporting a ReDi grant to purchase books and a reading chair for our school Library in New Denver. The funding is very competitive and we need parents to show up and vote for this project if we are to be successful with raising the funds.
When: Monday April 20th and 6pm at the Silverton Memorial Hall. You do not need to stay long, just come and write down your vote and you can leave.
How to support:
Please come and vote for "Purchase Library Books and Reading Chair for Lucerne Elementary Secondary School"
The grant was submitted by Slocan Solutions on behalf of the LESS Parent Advisory Committee
Why:
The Lucerne Elementary and Secondary school is lucky to currently have a very passionate librarian who is going through every book and getting rid of old out dated reference books and buying new books. It was been a very long time since a full assessment of the school library collection has been completed. The school only gets a small budget each year for books which will not cover replacing the reference books and getting new additional reading material for ages K-12.
This grant money would provide very important funds to buy:
help update an aging collection of books that would be enjoyed by many children for years to come
a nice reading chair to make a comfortable reading spot for children
With the increased interest in screens, having new and interesting books for the kids to read will really help to inspire the next generation of readers.
The school library is the main source of reading material for kids in our small community. Having a great selection of books is so important to keep kids excited to read.
This project is important to our small village as there are not a lot of services in the North Valley and having a vibrant library full of exciting books is a great way to inspire ongoing learning and creativity in our youth. The new books will also be a way to give back to the kids in our community.
Thank you!
See you Monday at 6 p.m.
