A.R. Lord Elementary + Indigo = Child Literacy

"I love the library and reading new books" - Gr 1 Student
A.R. Lord Elementary loves reading! It is a collective effort and creates an environment that fosters imagination, literacy, and sharing. 

"The library is the heart of our school and one of the key ways the librarian  turns children into lifelong readers is by connecting every one of our students with a "just right" book. The support from Chapters/Indigo means that we can get more books into the hands of our students and inspire them to love books and reading and learning." - Ms. Burke - Resource/Reading Recovery Teacher 

Literacy activities within our school have included the creation of a community bookshare, hosting parent workshops on how to support literacy in the home, providing support to new readers with the One-to-One Literacy program, book exchanges and the Indigo A.R. Lord Flipgive campaign.
Now for a limited time until October 10th, the Indigo Adopt as School event will bring together school teachers, students, families, and supporters along side Indigo staff, customers and the community.  It provides us a chance to win $10,000 in books for the school library.  The Indigo store in Lougheed Mall, Coquitlam is our generous sponsor store!  Adopt us online and help support literacy:
