The students organized a campaign to collect books for students displaced from the elementary school in Sanford because of a fire this summer that caused damage to their school.
The Carman Collegiate students would like to thank the community for their support including Carman Elementary school students who donated books at their school and to Boyne Regional Library patrons who dropped off books at the town library.
JA Cuddy School Principal Scott Thomson, Librarian Lori Dufresne and some JA Cuddy students were on hand to receive the books.
"These JA Cuddy students represent all of our school in thanking you," Thomson told the Carman students.
Dufresne said with the books and similar donations, including through the Indigo Adopt a School program, the school now has enough books to add to each of their temporary classrooms and to expand the school library, including replacing damaged books, when the school re-opens. Half of the school is expected to re-open in the coming weeks.
