Adopt-A-School Starts Today!


From September 18 – October 9, 2016, we are excited to have been adopted by Chapters Kenmount Road. This means that our library will be the benefactor of their instore fundraising and our additional community support through the adoptaschool.indigo.ca online fundraising platform. When
customers give a donation in store, those funds go directly to support Macdonald Drive Elementary.

There are two ways that our community can support our school online at adoptaschool.indigo.ca. Through Book Bonus or Tell a Story, Give a Story, the Foundation is matching your support up to 50 additional books for every participating school! This means, if you give 2 books to our school, the Foundation will add an extra book to your donation, up to 40 books! Or if you Tell a Story, Give a Story for FREE the Foundation will match an additional book for each featured story, up to 10 books! That’s 50 extra books that could be added to our library!

Through the Indigo Adopt a School program all fund raised go directly to that participating school and all participating schools receive a 30% discount off books when they shop at Indigo, Chapters and Coles.

Using the funds received through the program we are hoping to support the passion for literacy at our school by purchasing a variety of new resources, such as non-fiction, fiction, multi-cultural texts, multi-lingual texts, graphic novels, curriculum related texts, picture books, and so much more.

Please contact the school if you have any questions and please visit adoptaschool.indigo.ca from September 18 to October 9, 2016 to show your support for our library!
