Clearview Public Schools has announced the recent purchase of a collection of books to be donated in support of early learning.

Clearview officials say this initiative aligns with the division’s 2024-27 Education Plan and its commitment to enhancing literacy through the implementation of the 3T Testing programming.

The chosen book, “I’ll Love You Till the Cows Come Home” by Kathryn Cristaldi, has been highlighted by Director of Student Services, Candace Hodder. “I’ll Love You Till the Cows Come Home” is a great book for kids. It uses playful rhymes that support language development. The book features familiar animals, making it engaging and relatable for young readers. It also leaves kids feeling comforted through the heartwarming message of unconditional love.”

Clearview officials note the donation was made, Sept. 5, 2024, to the Stettler Community Health Centre. Families visiting the centre for vaccinations or checkups will receive a book courtesy of Clearview Public Schools, reinforcing their commitment to supporting literacy and early learning in the community.
