Today's Reading

Seventh Sunday of Easter
After Jesus had been taken up to heaven the apostles
returned to Jerusalem
from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem,
a sabbath day's journey away.
When they entered the city
they went to the upper room where they were staying,
Peter and John and James and Andrew,
Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew,
James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot,
and Judas son of James.
All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer,
together with some women,
and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

Click HERE to see the flier regarding the MBS Textbook Buyback Program.
Parents: It's time to think about selling your child's textbooks back to MBS, Savio's textbook vendor. Please see the flyer HERE for full instructions (you need to "sign in" your books on line BEFORE you bring them to Savio on June 1st.) The great news is that when you utilize the June 1st buyback, you'll be rid of those used textbooks and won't  have to pay for shipping to send them back! Not only do you get money for your books, but a small portion comes back to Savio SPA to be used for programs throughout the year! PLEASE NOTE: Savio will only receive credit for the buyback if you bring the books with invoice to Savio on June 1st. If you choose to mail the books to MBS yourself, Savio will NOT receive credit for the buyback. Any questions, please contact Julie Zimmerman at zmardle@aol.com or Michelle Callas at mrcallas@hotmail.com.
2017 - 2018 Textbook Listing is HERE!
