Adopt a School

September 4 to October 4

This fall, Coles at Westshore Town Centre is supporting Prince Charles Elementary through the Adopt a School fundraising campaign—and every donation can help bring more books into the hands of local students.

With 378 students speaking 40 different languages, 70% of students speak a language other than English at home. Yet the school has very few books available in these languages, and many of its non-fiction books are more than 15 years old.

The goal? Raise $1,510—enough to provide one new book for every student.

Have a “Blind Date with a Book.” Visit Coles in-store and make a donation to take home a surprise gently-used book. You won’t know which book you’re getting until you unwrap your literary mystery! 100% of donations go directly to the school.

You can also donate online through the school’s fundraising page.

Every book can open a new door. Help us fill more shelves—and more imaginations—with stories this fall.
