Dear Pangasinan.org
Community:
Greetings of
peace and joy!
Dr. Maria Montessori once
stated, "The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind."
We, at Flores Elementary School, firmly believe that it is our
mission to prepare the children entrusted to our care for
meaningful and effective participation in the future of our
community and beyond. Hence, we have strived to pool our
physical and material resources together to create a
carefully-planned and stimulating environment to aid each
elementary-age child lay an excellent foundation for competence
and creative learning. In spite of the limitations in the
resources available, we have remained steadfast in our goal to
prepare the children not only for the next level of their
education but to prepare them for life as well.
It is in keeping with
these goals in mind that we bring to you a plea for assistance
for a project which will stimulate a child's mind to the power
of the written word which in turn will enable him to know more
about the world in which he lives, foster better communication
and comprehension skills and lay the foundation for a lifetime
of knowledge and enjoyment. The project is for the school
library which is, at present, sorely lacking in enough reading
materials for the children of the school. As Maurice Saxby wrote
in Winch and Hoogstad, "It is not enough to know about books and
even to talk about them. Children must encounter them: a close
encounter of the very first kind." It is to this end that we
hope to provide the children with meaningful and vivid
encounters with one of the tools necessary for learning: books.
Hence, we wish to request
for assistance in procuring a set of encyclopedias,
dictionaries, reference books and other books which could be
used as reading supplements for all age levels from pre-school
to sixth grade. We welcome new and used book donations,
whichever the donors would be willing to share with us, for this
project in order for our school to have a functional library
which can be readily used by our students.
We anticipate your
favorable response to and support for this project and we do
hope that once again, the magnanimity of the organization's
donors and supporters will not fail us. With the completion of
this project, we hope to have taken a vital step towards
nurturing the seeds of potential for academic growth in each
child.
Thank you very much and
God bless you!
Sincerely yours,
The
Faculty
Flores Elementary School
