Bosco on the Bayou
Bosco on the Bayou Rocked!  Thank you to everyone who sponsored the event, attended the event, played golf, raised their bid cards and joined in on the fun!  A special note of thanks to those who spent many days and evenings organizing and coordinating the event:  Anita Buckel, Peter and Christina Grossgold, Jena Gump, Sarah Lisi, Terri Lisi, Joyce Petrowski, Jane Schmidt, Kim Yehle and James and Cheryl Wedell.  And, to the many parents, students and alumni who supported their efforts - Thank you!  Income and expenses are still being tabulated but we definitely reached our goal of being able to purchase computers for all of our wonderful teachers and support staff. We will report back to the community by the end of the week with exactly how much money was raised.

Thank you to the St.John Bosco community for supporting the library by buying from the spring book fair.  We sold over $5,000 worth of books and merchandise.  All proceeds will go towards the purchase of new books for the St. John Bosco School Library.

 

Many thanks to the parents and students who joyfully volunteer for all of the various positions at the book fair. Special thanks goes to the three volunteers who chair the book fair:  Anita Buckel, Ericah Gamez, and Justine Allen.  They work hard to setup, takedown, and provide the fun activities associated with the book fair.     `

With the graduation of her second child, Stephen, this was Anita's last book fair.  We wish her a fond farewell and we are still not quite sure how we will do without her!  Thank you for all your work through the years, Anita! The SJB library is a better place because of you.

Mrs. Larsen's third grade class won the Fiesta for buying more than 80 books, with PreK and Mrs. Neumann's fourth grade coming in a close second and third respectively. Thanks again for your unending support of the SJB Library!
