From Mrs. Main in the library
Many thanks to all of the Holy Cross families and friends who have supported our various fairs and programs in the last 2 months: The Scholastic book fair, the Barnes and Noble fair, and the Christmas wish list program. The success of these programs is allowing us to purchase some books for our library media centers.
We have several books on our wish list that did not get taken so we would like to extend that program through the rest of the year. If you would like to donate a book to the library in honor of your child's birthday or a teacher, or any other occasion, or in memory of a deceased love one, contact Mrs. Main any time at main_h@hcrs-va.org. We had a successful birthday book program for a few years similar to this. Stay tuned for information on our upcoming February reading incentive sponsored by Sylvan Learning Center!
