Businesses Fueling Minds
The Windsor Chamber of Commerce and Kennedy School are working together again this year to offer you an opportunity to be involved with "Businesses Fueling Minds Through Books."
There are 32 classrooms in grades 1 and 2 at our four elementary schools in Windsor. The idea is to donate a book to each classroom in the first and second grade. If your company chooses to donate a book, your company's name will be on the inside cover of the book. Your company would also have the option of sending a volunteer to read the book to a classroom on December 4th.
The event is fast approaching. We would appreciate your quick response. This great opportunity allows Windsor Businesses to join a collaborative effort to re-enforce the importance of reading.
