BOOKBUSKING - FOSTER PRIMARY SCHOOL

Waiting their turn..........



On Friday December 2nd we had the best day ever with students from Foster Primary School. We set them up outside the bookshop with table and chairs, microphone and a large guitar case. From 10 am to around 2.30 pm 50 students read a small section of a favourite book. People passing stopped to listen and made very generous donations. This fund raising event may well become an annual event.
