It is the moment we have all been waiting for! We are delighted to announce that South Island School has been nominated the WINNER for the MOST CREATIVE SCHOOL in Room to Read’s Active for Education School Challenge. Your prize of a USD$1000 Scholastic’s Book voucher to be used in your school’s library will be making its way to you shortly!
We are extremely thankful for your school’s donation of $19,061.60. Through your efforts, you have joined a powerful global movement reaching millions of children with the gift of education. Your donation has brought us one step closer to achieving our goal of reaching 15 million children by 2020.
We have been very impressed with the enthusiasm and dedication that South Island School has shown in your fundraising efforts. It has been wonderful to see creative ideas such as your bake sale with the cupcakes made in your school house colours, a dress up as your favourite book character and a book swap between student grades. We will be sure to pass these ideas on to other schools as inspiration!”
