Literacy is important at Prince Street School and if you visit the school you’ll immediately see evidence of this: you’ll find books everywhere – not only in the library, but on the shelves in classrooms, and in students’ desks and backpacks. The school keeps careful track of every student’s reading and writing abilities, and offers supports when it’s needed. Prince Street recognizes that literacy is the bedrock upon which much learning is based.

By way of recognizing and celebrating this, and to highlight the writing of this year’s graduating class, Prince Street Home and School, with financial support from the PEI Home and School Federation and the cooperation of Robertson Library, University of Prince Edward Island, has produced this book of student writing from this year’s grade 6 graduates, students of John MacFarlane and Jo-Anne Parsons.

Every graduate will receive a copy of this book, and it will be placed in the school library, the public library, and Robertson Library, where it will join earlier works by Prince Street Students produced in the 1970s.
