Rescue Readers Collaboration

Celebrating Partnerships for a Paws-itively Great Cause!

We’re thrilled to highlight the incredible collaboration between the The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation , Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board , Humane Society Hastings Prince Edward , and the Rotary Club of Belleville in bringing the Rescue Readers Program to life!

This innovative initiative connects young readers with rescue animals, creating a unique environment where students improve their literacy skills while providing comfort and companionship to shelter pets. Together, we’re fostering learning, compassion, and community connections.

A special thanks to The Alva Foundation for their generous donation of $5,000 which helps support this program. A heartfelt thank you to all partners for their dedication to education, animal welfare, and community enrichment.
