Readathon will be hold from May 2^nd to May 8^th, 2021. Bond will invite students to read more books by indigenous authors. Students will participate in Readathon and raise funds to help northern First Nations find 50 great teachers for their classrooms and make sure all students are supported to succeed. 

Bond students are invited to participate in the Teach For Canada Readathon from May 2^nd-8^th, in celebration of Canadian Children's Book Week. Students will be inspired to read more books by Indigenous authors, prompting important learning as they improve their reading skills. Their hard work will raise funds for an important cause, helping northern First Nations find 50 great teachers for their classrooms. 

This is a great cause and something that would be great for Bond to support. And it is also imperative for international students to learn and to support indigenous causes, which will be mutually beneficial to their understanding of this integral part of Canadian culture and history.  They can also improve their reading skills through this activity. Commented by Mr. Phil Davies, Bond Secondary Principal. 

“Bond Academy has shown itself to be a great supporter of high-quality education for students”, said Taylor Leppik, Growth and Partnerships Manager, on behalf of Teach For Canada, who is reaching out to Bond specifically. 

Teach For Canada is a non-profit organization that works with remote First Nations schools that face ongoing challenges finding and retaining teachers for their classrooms. To date, the organization has helped recruit and retain 235 teachers across 20 First Nations in northern Ontario and Manitoba, improving outcomes for 4,700+ students. But there is more work to do, and they are hoping Bond and Bond students will join them! 

Together, we can make sure that all students—no matter where they are from—are supported to succeed!
