Indigo Love of Reading Foundation supports Lasalle Elementary School

September 13, 2024

Wyatt Armstrong, left, and Ben Nadjiwon get ready to read in the Lasalle Elementary School library. They will have access to an even greater selection of books thanks to the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation.

Lasalle Elementary School in New Sudbury has been selected to participate in the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation’s annual Adopt-a-School fundraising program.

Every dollar donated from September 13 to October 6, 2024 at Chapters Sudbury on the Kingsway and online through the Love of Reading Foundation will go towards the purchase of books – in English and French – at a generous discount.

“Our students love to read at school and at home. Inspiring a love of reading in our students enables them to develop strong literacy skills, the foundation for all learning,” said Principal Kristen Pichette.

She added: “Reading opens the door to a world of adventure, discovery and knowledge. Diversity in books builds cultural understanding and fosters empathy. Reading is engaging, educational and entertaining.”

Collins Hopkin reads a story in French at Lasalle Elementary School which offers the French Immersion Program from Kindergarten to Grade 6.

Lasalle Elementary School invites the entire community to make a donation in store or online. “We are grateful to Indigo and all donors for supporting our school and our students,” said Principal Pichette. “We welcome the opportunity to celebrate our love of reading through this fundraising campaign.”

Lasalle Elementary School offers the French Immersion Program to students from Kindergarten to Grade 6. The modern library is a popular gathering space in the new school which opened last fall.
