Our gratitude to those who donated books, volunteered their time, sponsored the event, and last but certainly not least, came to shop! Book Fair is a wonderful and enduring collaboration between school and community, and every one of your contributions is important in allowing us to run an event of this size. We hope your Book Fair experience was a great one, and that you found some treasures to take home!

School Trustee Lyra Evans and Principal Brian Chiasson helped open the event this year, and we thank the staff of R.P.P.S. for coming out to show their support as well. We also extend our thanks to Dinner by Six for the tasty hot food at the Fair (and for feeding our volunteers during set-up!), to the Embassy of India, Embassy of Kazakhstan and Embassy of Afghanistan for donating delicious treats for the bake sale, and to our kind sponsors Sezlik Royal Lepage, Kelly Santini LLP, Wealth Creation Preservation Donation (WCPD), GLOCAL Foundation of Canada, Rytec Printing, Black Squirrel Books, Bridgehead and Metro.

Last year’s proceeds helped fund educational resources and student activities at R.P.P.S. as well as at five other schools and the OCDSB Education Foundation, and thanks to this year’s success we can again enrich learning opportunities and resources for many local students. We couldn’t do it without your support!

Happy reading, and we’ll see you in 2024.
