Middle School House Book Donations - Library Aid International
To show gratitude for the wonderful new library space at the Middle School, the Student House Leaders are launching a book donation drive for Library Aid International. Library Aid International Inc is a not-for-profit, non-government organisation which provides used books and educational materials to improve literacy and educational outcomes and life opportunities for children in disadvantaged schools in developing countries.
Donations can include books for students aged 3 - 16, educational books and general school supplies. Each House has set up a collection point in the Middle School Library, and the race is on to see which House can collect the most books to donate!
Donations can be made until 15 March to the Middle School Library.
