Student Council Summer Book Exchange
Our Student Council is hosting a book drive on Thursday, June 19 to provide all students with an opportunity to exchange books they have read for new books, and have some new reading material for the summer.
Students can bring in books they wish to trade in on June 19. A Grade 5 or 6 member of the Student Council will record how many books each student brings in then that student will get to select a corresponding number of new books. For example, if a student brings in 3 books they will be able to select 3 new books.
Any books leftover by the end of the day will be donated.
It will be so exciting for students to know that their books will bring joy to someone else.

One of our agenda items will be to gather your feedback on the School Council initiatives this year and possible ideas for next year. It will be in-person and online (Join the meeting now).
