The Verona High School French Club, along with high school librarian Maria Mayo, will be hosting a book drive for children in Haiti starting on Monday, October 16. The book drive will benefit a new school library in the town of Ouanaminthe, located in the northern region of Haiti.
The club is looking for gently used books for children ages five to 12 in English, French, and Spanish. Collection boxes will be located at the VHS lobby, the VHS Learning Commons, and all school libraries in Verona.
You can also participate even if you don’t have books of your own to donate. The French club is partnering with Educa Vision, a Florida-based of multicultural and multi-lingual educational materials that can ship books directly to Ouanaminthe. To learn more, and if you would like to contribute any amount of money to be used toward the
purchasing of a multilingual book, please visit http://educavision.com/make-a-gift to make a donation.
