Loonies for Literacy Tag Day - Friday, Aug. 12th

On Friday, August 12th, volunteers from PELC will be at 3 locations in Picton, collecting donations and providing information about PELC's services. If you are anywhere near LCBO, The Armoury, or Pharma Plus, stop and chat with our volunteers about how we can help you reach your goals!

Sobeys Picton and PELC working together to build a strong and healthy community.

Thanks to the generosity of Sobeys Picton, from July 29 - August 13th, you can
make a donation to Loonies for Literacy as easily as paying for your groceries!



Thanks Sobeys!

Introducing...Emma!

As always, we're participating in the Canada Summer Jobs Initiative and have hired Emma Thompson!



Emma will be working with the staff and students of PELC during July and August 2011. She hails from Belleville and studies Biochemistry and English Literature at McGill University in Montréal. This summer, her responsibilities include helping Keith out in the classroom, planning Loonies for Literacy with Lori, participating in Thursday Group activities, providing one-on-one math and science support to students and copious amounts of marking and photocopying. Emma can be found at the desk to the right of the door in the office, flitting around the classroom on Mondays and Tuesdays, and trying to warm up in the sun at the picnic table on her lunch break. She looks forward to meeting and working with the students of PELC and helping them achieve their goals. Here’s to an exciting summer of learning opportunities!

Would you like to help us fill our piggy banks?

PELC will be holding it's annual Loonies for Literacy Tag Day on Friday, August 12th and we need some volunteers to collect the loonies!

If you have a free hour or two and would like to support literacy training in The County, we'd love to hear from you!

Please call Lori @ 613-476-1811 or email: learnin4@bellnet.ca

Money raised during the Tag Day will go towards buying a new photocopier.
