Spring Scholastic Book Fair
| Mark Your Calendars...AGAIN! Spring into books!
Scholastic Book Fair is May 9-14
Mark your calendars for May 9th through May 14th and get ready to have some fun! Our Book Fair is always very popular with students and adults alike. We will again be getting Scholastic's top-of-the-line book fair which means lots of titles in both hardback and soft back; hands-on science activities and games to challenge the mind; and a table of great books and activities for the preschool crowd. Of course, we will also have posters, pencils, erasers, calendars, diaries, journals, book sets, software, toys, games, science stuff, and we hope to have some value packs too.
Having our Book Fair during the spring season encourages everyone to think about purchasing books for summer reading. While there are some required reading titles, be sure to encourage your students to choose from titles that interest them for pleasure reading. Encourage and make time for this very important activity.
In addition, adult books will be available -- so plan to come and spend some time shopping for yourself, your friends and the other adults in your life. Reading allows our imaginations to soar and provides a thrilling ride for the mind.
Thank you in advance for your continued support,
Mrs. Camber and the library staff

St. Anastasia Catholic Church News

From Kris Frank, Youth Program Coordinator: The monthly middle school
youth ministry has been a great success this past year with nearly 60 kids
attending some nights. For the upcoming
year, we are hoping to concentrate on building the ministry and offering more
for the middle school kids of our parish. To make this happen the youth program will need more involvement from
parents and volunteers. We are also looking for someone to come forward and
take a role conducting the middle school youth nights with the help of the
current director of youth ministry. There will be a possible stipend for this
new position. If you are interested in
assisting in the spiritual growth of the middle school youth of the parish or
have any questions, please contact Kris Frank at the Parish Office at 461.2233
or e-mail him at stanastasiayouth@gmail.com. God bless.

With Love for Lynda
|
Lynda Ray is a 32 year-old mother of two battling breast cancer. She was diagnosed with Stage Four breast cancer in September 2009, but by then the cancer had already spread to two places in her spine and has metastasized to her bones. Her cancer is incurable, but she continues to try to maintain a normal life, working whenever she can at The Hair Cuttery in St. Lucie West. She is the sister-in-law of JCHS teacher Rebecca Dempsey.
On Wednesday, April 21st, Scott Van Duzer, founder of the Van Duzer Foundation and owner of Big Apple Pizza and Pasta in Fort Pierce (across from IRSC) will be donating one hundred percent of the sales of food and beverages to Lynda Ray to help defray expenses incurred during her battle with breast cancer. The festivities will begin at 4 p.m. and continue until closing, with John Carroll High School students, faculty and parents participating. For more information, call Jennifer Trefelner at JCHS at 464-5200.
