Year 6 students at Mountain View Adventist College are helping others while they help themselves this year, by participating in Scholastic Book Clubs’ ClassroomsCare, a philanthropy-based literacy campaign designed to teach children about the joys and importance of reading and giving.
From April through to September, students in Maree Worker’s classroom and all across the country will read 100 books and, in turn, Scholastic Book Clubs, a division of Scholastic Australia, will donate 100 books to disadvantaged children.
The class of 34 students has set itself the goal of reading 300 books by September. More than 100 books have already been read.—RECORD staff/Maree Walker
