Amazon literacy boost for Sutton schools

Dalestorth Primary and Nursery School, Newton Primary School, Crescent Manor and Tibshelf Infant and Junior School have all received a donation of three hundred books from the Amazon team in Sutton-in-Ashfield.

Vivek Khanka, General Manager at Amazon in Sutton-in-Ashfield, said: “I’m pleased to make these donations to these schools. It’s great to have the opportunity to encourage children to read and make a contribution to their educational resources.”

Craig Robertson, from Dalestorth Primary and Nursery School said: “On behalf of our staff and pupils, I would like to say a big thank you to the Amazon Sutton-in-Ashfield team. We are grateful to receive this kind donation and the pupils will make great use of the books.”
