Give the Gift of Reading - deadline to order Monday December 7th

 

The Gift of Reading is a St. Philip Catholic School Council initiative that supports the Learning Commons (Library). There is always an ongoing need to add quality reading material for the students to access on their visits. So, in lieu of or in addition to Christmas gifts, the staff of St. Philip would be most honored to have a donation made on their behalf to the Gift of Reading program.

 Christmas greeting cards noting your donation (dollar amount not included) to the Gift of Reading are available for $2.50 each. This year donations and card orders will be done via the School Cash Online system.  The card(s) will be sent home for you to sign and add your own greeting. Your child may then present the card to his/her teacher(s), EA, ECE, etc.

 Orders will be accepted until Monday, December 7^th. Greeting cards will be sent home with your child on Monday, December 14^th.

 Please note that this program is completely optional and all donations collected for the Gift of Reading go directly towards purchasing books and materials for the Learning Commons.

 If you have any questions please contact Michelle Owen at mprankie@hotmail.com.

 

Thank you!
