Used Book Sale in Support of Southern Ontario Animal Rescue

It's been a while since anything was last posted here. We've been extremely busy and the time has flown by. So much has happened and every time I planned to sit down and write a post I found myself interrupted. So now sitting in the quiet of my living room I have found the time to report on our goings on.

Today we held a used book sale in the library. The sale was arranged by a group of grade 6 students who wished to raise money for SOAR, which is an animal rescue association. The students, with the help of their teacher, Mrs. Camarda made announcements about the upcoming sale and also collected used books. Mrs. Camarda and I picked a date for the sale and we helped the students make signs and set up the books for sale. I helped to supervise the students while Mrs. Camarda made a schedule for classes to visit the library. The money and sales were handled solely by the students. Mrs. Camarda and I were simply there to assist. The kids did a fantastic job with the sale. They were very responsible they set up the books and also cleaned up after the sale was complete. They were an excellent set of workers.

In all the students raised 83$ for SOAR. They were very proud of themselves and we were extremely excited to see them work so independently on something that has such a positive effect. Well done kids!!
