Indigo Love of Reading Foundation Supports King George VI with $20K Grant
King George VI Public School has been selected as one of 30 schools across Canada — and one of just 11 in Ontario — to receive a $20,000 grant from the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation. The grant, spread over three years, will support the Lambton Kent District School Board school's efforts to build a stronger library collection and foster a lifelong love of reading among students. The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation, launched in 2004, provides resources to schools in high-needs communities. With support from Indigo and its customers, the foundation has invested more than $36 million into 3,600 schools across the country, reaching over one million students. King George VI's selection recognizes its strong commitment to literacy and student engagement. 'We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly grateful to receive this $20,000 Indigo Love of Reading Grant,' said principal Danielle Maryschak. 'This generous funding will be a game-changer for our school library, allowing us to acquire a diverse collection of new books and resources that will ignite a passion for reading in our students.' Maryschak said the school's goal is to create an inclusive and engaging library by updating non-fiction titles, expanding high-interest fiction options and ensuring representation of diverse voices. 'A strong library is the heart of a thriving school,' she said. 'This grant will empower us to provide our students with the tools and inspiration they need to become lifelong readers.' The school is one of just two recipients outside the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario to receive the grant this year. The school community extended special thanks to staff members Emily Dixon and Heather Josling for their letters of support, which contributed to the success of the application. The three-year partnership with the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation is expected to have a lasting impact on literacy development and academic opportunities for all students at King George VI.
