Munsch a Bunch of Miles visits Ecole Providence

McLennan’s Ecole Providence principal Linda Vandenberg accepts an autographed Robert Munsch book from Sheralyn Dobos. Dobos is part of Munsch a Bunch of Miles for Literacy group that is visiting various communities across the province to explain the importance of literacy in every day lives. This is the third year the group has toured via bicycles across various parts of western Canada. Each year, author Robert Munsch donates autographed books to the group to give to the schools they visit. This year, the group started at their home-base of Camrose, traveling nearly 1,300 km across the province to make students aware of the importance of literacy. According to the Smoky River Adult Learning and Literacy, reading is used in every day life at every moment. Without realizing it, individuals will read almost every moment of their life. Dobos explained the group is cycling across the province to raise money to support literacy programs in Camrose and the surrounding area since 2006. Studnts at Providence school were impressed with the action-filled reading session acted out by Dobos, Alan Ford, Helen Samm and David Samm, all of Camrose.
