Supported by many friends we collected and donated an amazing 276 books to the school.<\/p>\n<p>We made our first donation in 2015, after the staff at Drove Primary School told us at Swindon Soroptimists that the school needed more children&#8217;s books, and we haven&#8217;t stopped collecting books since. Craig Richardson, the English coordinator, told us at our latest visit that the school has set up a new library space since our last donation. We&#8217;re most delighted to have added to the stock!<\/p>\n<p>Our members Lydia, Jackie, Rozza, Lynnette and Corrine were special guests at two school assemblies, one for Key Stage 1, one for Key Stage 2.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Enthusiasm<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]It was an absolute pleasure to join in with the children&#8217;s enthusiasm about reading.
