Assisted Schools
Individual chapters provide school volunteers, purchase equipment, help with Marigold projects, provide reading partners and reading awards. Some chapters help run school breakfast and lunch programs or deliver snacks. Members knit hats and gloves and donate them to schools so that children can have dry mittens and hats for recess and noon. Library books, school supplies and magazine subscriptions are purchased for schools. One very important activity that many chapters have is the presentation of awards for achievement and improvement.
Adopted Schools
Several Chapters and some individuals assist classes in schools in Labrador in similar ways
