A Special Duffy Assembly

Today we had a special Duffy assembly.  Each class was given a box of books so each child could receive a Duffy Book to take home a book to treasure  thanks to Kevin and Carol of Dominion Constructors who sponsored the books.

Filipo and Ofili are all smiles when they collected our books.

A Duffy Assembly

Henry came to talk to Pt England school and told the children how important it is to learn to read.  Carol West and Kevin Boroevich also came to the assembly.  They are from Dominion Construction who very generously support the Duffy Foundation and make it possible for the children to receive books to take home and treasure.  The children listened to their talk and presented them with a lei and a thank you card they had made.

New Books for a Holiday Read

Raven from Mai FM came to school for a Duffy Assembly.  She told us how important it is to read and how her love of reading helped her study and get a job in radio.  We sang the Duffy song to her then each class got  a box of books.  We were very excited to choose two books to take home and share with our families over the holidays.  We are very lucky to get these books from the Duffy Foundation.
