PUPILS at Skipton Parish Primary C of E School, have received a bundle of new books for their school library thanks to the Morrisons Foundation in partnership with the National Literacy Trust.
Clare Reed, community champion from Skipton Morrisons delivered the books in time for World Book Day on March 4, although most of the children will enjoy them the following week when they get back to school.
She said: “I’m so proud to be helping kids in my community through this donation of books. We are living through challenging times and I hope these stories will give children at Parish Primary some fun and enjoyment.”
The donation to Parish Primary is one of 497 schools throughout England, Scotland and Wales that has received one of the book bundles which includes The Extraordinary Life of Amelia Earhart by Sheila Kanani and The Racehorse Who Learned to Dance by Clare Balding.
The initiative aims to encourage 125,000 children to discover a love of reading this World Book Day. Over the past three years Morrisons community champions have shared out 20,000 books with schools in their local communities.
