NEWS RELEASE
SIMCOE COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
*************************
On Nov. 20, Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) schools celebrated Rotary Book Day.
Each year, Grade 2 students in the city of Barrie receive a copy of Andy & Elmer’s Apple Dumpling Adventure, thanks to a donation by the Rotary Club of Barrie.
Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall, John Dance, director of education for the SCDSB, Peter McLean, superintendent of education with the SCDSB, and Jerry Norman, from the Rotary Club of Barrie, visited Codrington Public School to deliver the books and read the story to students.
Aligned with the SCDSB’s commitment to supporting literacy, developing community partnerships, and our character education program, Andy & Elmer’s Apple Dumpling Adventure is a story of a young entrepreneur named Andy who, with the help of a mysterious voice providing guidance and support, learns the value of truthfulness, fairness, goodwill, and partnerships that benefit everyone involved.
