The Book Fair Is Almost Here!

The 2024 Scholastic Book Fair will be held in the SRLA gym during Catholic Schools Week. The Book Fair keeps our children reading and raises funds for our school, so please stop by and support us! Families can shop together on Sunday, January 28 from 10:30am until 1:30pm, and students will shop with their classes Monday, January 29 through Thursday, February 1.
Get ready ahead of time by setting up your Scholastic eWallet, a safe cash-free way for your child to shop. And againthis year, contribute to your teacher's eWallet and they can pick out books for their classroom, completely tax-free!
Parents and caregivers, please sign up to volunteer! Remember that all volunteers must have an active certification through Protecting God's Children.
Thank you for your support!

It takes many hands to make the magic happen for our students!
There are many ways to get involved, whether you're available for an in-school event, can pitch in from your laptop, or have a couple of hours to spare one evening or weekend. All events are supported by the HSA and Chairs, so we will be there to help!
