Riverview School
Brandon, Manitoba 41 / 220 Books Given
Principal Nicole Warwaruk
Many of our books are dated and well LOVED. Most are well-worn, damaged, or our students often request titles we do not have.
We were extremely fortunate to receive funds through the Indigo Adopt a School Campaign in September 2017, #GIVINGTUESDAY in November 2017, and the Indigo Love of Reading Literacy Fund in May of 2018.
We have been able to begin the process of culling our old damaged, out dated books, and have begun the process of bringing in new books and replacing our well LOVED books!
Any additional support to continue the improvement of our selection and volume of books would be greatly appreciated.
