Immaculate Conception, Topper’s Pizza Team Up for “Feed Your Mind” Reading Program
The students at Immaculate Conception Catholic School in Val Caron have been participating in the Topper’s Pizza, Feed Your Mind program this school year. The program encourages young people to set and achieve specific reading goals. The school’s goal was to read 7,500 books by the end of June, however the students were so excited about the program that they reached their target by spring.
On June 20th, Ron Toppazzini, founder of Topper’s Pizza and Kelly Toppazzini, Chairman and CEO helped serve pizza to the students and staff at Immaculate Conception Catholic School along with Mike Kaiser and Eric Woolsey from the Val Caron store. The free pizza party honoured and celebrated the school’s achievements.
Given the program’s great start, there is little doubt that the students will continue to read throughout the summer months. The staff and students at Immaculate Conception Catholic School wish to thank Topper’s Pizza for the reading program and for the generosity they have shown. In addition the school would also like to thank Mrs. LeRoy for co-ordinating the Feed Your Mind program for the past two years.
