An Epic Rainbow Igloo Has Been Constructed In Apsley
/
Apsley School Council has coordinated the building of a Rainbow Igloo for the Apsley Winter Carnival on February 21st. Apsley School Council Chair Carolyn Amyotte and fellow parents Ann Johnston, Jen Temple and Jenny Atmore are pledging to spend a night in the igloo if they can raise at least $1,000 towards the purchase of leveled literacy program resources to help their students.
***They believe that being a small school with a limited budget in a small, rural community shouldn't prevent their children from accessing the same programs and resources that other schools with bigger budgets can, and are raising awareness and funds by doing this epic igloo.
