Great Ideas Start on Paper
Promoting education and emphasizing literacy is part of Domtar’s commitment to support the sustainable development of our communities. Through Domtar’s Powerful Pages initiative, we are proud to engage with organizations and schools across North America to share the love of reading and to help equip students for learning.
Truck of Books Event Gives 40,000 Books to Teachers
Domtar joined forces with First Book and Classroom Central for the fourth annual Truck of Books event. The two-day literacy promotion offered 40,000 free books for teachers to share with students in the Charlotte, North Carolina region.
Enriching Educational Opportunities for Children in Need
Domtar partners with First Book to provide brand new books to educators serving low-income children across North America. Domtar's grants provide funding for schools to purchase books through the First Book Marketplace, which are then given to students to take home.
Making a Difference for Teachers and Students
Domtar is proud to support Classroom Central, an organization whose mission is to provide free supplies to students in need to maximize their learning potential. Domtar, First Book and Classroom Central have partnered to create a unique, annual book distribution event that provides 40,000 new books to educators in the Charlotte, North Carolina area to share with their students.
Opening New Worlds for Students Through Reading
Eleven schools in Domtar communities have opened Ben Carson Reading Rooms. Through the efforts of employee volunteers, existing spaces have been transformed into welcoming, relaxed and comfortable spaces for children to read at school. The rooms, sponsored by the Carson Scholars Fund, were made possible thanks to generous gifts from Domtar and its vendor partners.
