"Libraries are our friends."
- Neil Gaiman
"Harry- I think I've just understood something! I've got to go to the library!"
And she sprinted away, up the stairs.
"What does she understand?" said Harry distractedly, still looking around, trying to tell where the voice had come from.
"Loads more than I do," said Ron, shaking his head.
"But why's she got to go to the library?"
"Because that's what Hermione does," said Ron, shrugging. "When in doubt, go to the library."
-J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
"The world is quiet here."
- Lemony Snicket
Don't you just love that new book smell? Or maybe, even better, don't you just love a book that has been read so often and by so many people that the corners of the pages are soft and curled? We are very pleased with the enthusiastic support we have from families and friends who love books wish to volunteer in our school library. Keep posted for ideas and special events focusing on our library and reading.
Peace,

 Dine Out with SJV Dine out with SJV at Buffalo Wild Wings on Bluemound Rd. on Wednesday, September 24th. Dine-in or carry out from 3:00pm until close and they will give SJV 10% of purchases. Earn even more for SJV by ordering BW3 Scrip cards by Monday, September 15th. Click on the BW3 Flyer to bring along with you. |
SCRIP
How many ways can you use SCRIP? Almost as many ways as you can spend cash- for groceries, gasoline, restaurants, for nights out (or for the quick "I don't know what to do for dinner" nights), Wal-Mart, Target, Sam's Club runs. Or what about that computer you are thinking about updating? Are you needing a new snow blower? The possibilities are endless! All it takes is a little pre-planning to make these purchases and more with SCRIP cards. Remember you are getting tuition credit, cash back or making a charitable donation to SJV with each purchase so it really does pay to use SCRIP. Look for the Sunday night emails for extra rebate deals.
As always, we will process paper orders on Mondays by 8:30 am. For an added convenience, think about shopping online and paying with PrestoPay. If you have questions, email or call Martha Connelly, Amy Lodes or Janet Fisher.

It will be coordinated and organized with the entire committee and Karen and Amy.
