Library Books - Help!

Help Put the Library Back Together Again!  We had no real time to prepare when the announcement came that schools would close back in March. With a weekly check-out of over 250 books per week, many of those books were in backpacks, bedrooms, and classrooms, and little thought was given to them as we were all busy coping with the many challenges and disappointments that arrived almost daily due to Covid19. At this time, we still have about 175 books that have yet to be returned! Many of these titles are some of our most popular books. With check-out privileges just around the corner, we are asking that all families look around the house for St. Joseph School library books and send them in ASAP. We must quarantine all books for at least 4 days before they may be checked out by another student. St. Anthony, pray for us!

So, gather all the kids, mom and dad, the whole family, and video your family reciting the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be. These videos will be shared in the school for morning prayer, and will be a powerful connection for the community! Send your video to Mrs. Hatley at wsjsnews@sjschoolva.org.
