It’s the little things in life that make the biggest differences, and having the right supplies keeps our students studying!

Product Donations for the PVLA
Sending money isn’t the only way to support adult ESL students. Sometimes, all they need is a bit of caffeine to jolt them awake after they’ve been at work all day, a snack to give them the energy to keep learning, or the right supplies to take notes and organize their lessons.

March Madness Reading Contest
In March, the PVLA challenged students to a reading contest. The rules were simple:
Any student in any PVLA or CCC class was allowed to participate in the competition. They were asked to turn in reading logs every week, and if they did, they won a prize.
The PVLA will be hosting another reading contest in May, so any student that wants a chance to win a weekly prize or a “grand” prize will have an opportunity. The rules will be the same. We’re excited to see how the next one turns out.
Making the reading contest fun doesn’t take much. If you’d like to become a sponsor, the cost is $50, or you’re more than welcome to donate in-kind items. These can include the weekly prizes or the “grand” prizes (gift cards) that are handed out at the end of the contest.
For more information, please contact the PVLA executive director through the form on the side of this blog or at pvlacolumbusne @ yahoo.com (don’t forget to remove the spaces!).

These prizes were small incentives, such as notebooks, pens, and scented candles. The “big” prizes were at the end of the contest, and these included gift cards to Walmart in increments of $20, $10, and $5.
The prizes were donated to the PVLA by an anonymous donor.
We are super happy with how the first reading contest turned out, and we thank the students for participating. The winners are as follows:
