Every year students in Greencastle Primary School collect dimes.. Why dimes you may ask? Well they spend 100 days collecting dimes to later donate to the Lilian Besore Memorial Library. This helps the library to gain extra money to buy new books for the juvenile/children sections in the library. Sometimes you may open a book your child brings home from the library and see a little piece of paper, this paper usually explains that the book was donated to the library by the school and lists the year the funds were used to by that book. :) This is always a fun day for all involved. The library is so thankful that the children do this every year. And this year the Greencastle Antrim Primary School raised a total of $776.80. This money will be used to buy new books for the coming years that will hopefully encourage all young readers to explore new books. :)
The Children who brought up the bags of dimes; (Sitting) : Hunter Needham, Taylor Jones, Jade Erazo, Nicole Sottile, Lainey Smith, (Standing) : Laura Greenlee (Library Director), Preston Shaw, Christopher Pellicano, Danielle Horner, Madison Shanholtz. Thank you soooo much for the Donations. :)
