St. Paul Catholic School is the recipient for the George Ermellini Literacy Award

Congratulations St. Paul Catholic School! St. Paul is this year’s recipient of the George Ermellini Literacy Award. The annual award is given to a school that promotes innovative literacy programs involving family and the greater community.

The winning proposal was formulated by Barry White, school principal. St. Paul believes that literacy is the key to school success. Research shows that students at home experience greater academic success. St. Paul Catholic School will use the funds to implement a “Book Bag Program” which provides students with continuous access to rich picture books and reading materials. Students will be able to enjoy reading their books with their families.

The George Ermellini Literacy Award is a special award administered through by The Angel Foundation for Learning to support innovative programs in family
literacy within elementary schools across the TCDSB. A grant of $700 will be awarded each year.
