Scarborough schools celebrate World Book Day – one with a special donation from Morrisons
But children from Braeburn Primary and Nursery Academy have been particularly lucky this year as they received a special donation from Morrisons.
The local supermarket has visited the school today to bring a bundle of brand new books for the school's library.

Ellie Waite, Community Champion and Paul Cole, People Manager at the local Morrison's in Scarborough delivered the books to the kids. They said: “We are delighted to be donating these new books to a local school. There’s a great selection and we hope that every pupil will be able to find a story they will enjoy.”
Gladstone Road Primary have also got stuck in with World Book Day with teachers and pupils dressing up in fancy dress to mark the occasion.
