Schools Library Donations
Every year, Cranleigh Rotary donates hundreds of pounds to help local primary schools to improve their libraries.
In the past, some schools have opted to receive donations of Usborne Illustrated Dictionaries, rather than a financial grant, but this year all of the local schools have chosen to receive a lump sum which they can then decide how best to use to boost their libraries.
This year, the first Cranleigh school to be presented with a cheque for £500 was Park Mead Primary School. Rotarian Andy Kolmar was delighted to hand over the cheque to headteacher Neil McAuliffe in front of the students (photo above).
The money was raised from the Santa Dash, which took place at the end of 2019 and in which several school pupils participated.
