Summer Reading!

Way to go Gwyneth!

Gwyneth in grade 2 recently read and enjoyed four books from the Animal Rescue Series by Tina Nolan!

“One of my favourite books is “Rusty, the injured fox cub” because he is a cute fox.  In the book, he was caught in electrical wire and taken to the Animal Rescue Centre without his family.  At the end he found his family.”

“I also enjoyed “Merlin, the homeless foal, because he found a good safe home.”
