I Read Canadian Book Challenge

The Forest of Reading staff are challenging young readers across Canada to read 150 Forest of Reading books from now until the end of the year. Participants must read any of the nominated titles from any White Pine program year. They must record the title of the book on the supplied reading log, and email it to forest@accessola.com. Successful participants will be entered into a draw to win a free set of 10 books for the 2018 list.

This challenge is open until December 31, 2017. 

Intergenerational Book Clubs

Mrs. Loftus' grade 10 classes participated in three different book clubs, as part of ​their independent study. Each book club also included a member of the public who met with the group regularly to discuss their interpretation of the text. Together, Nottawasaga Pines Secondary School and the Essa Public Library are proving that books really are ageless.

To volunteer with our next intergenerational book clubs, please use the contact form in the section above.
