"Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!"

"If you build it, they will come" is a famous movie line from Field of Dreams.  Well, we didn't build a baseball field but we did fill a room with shelves and books and we now have a library and people  did come to see it. On Wednesday we were blessed to have our grandparents and VIP's attend mass with us and the dedication of our new library.  We had a glorious procession from church and a beautiful ribbon ceremony to officially open the library.  Students will begin to check out books the week of October 10th.  Many thanks to all who donated books or shelves, they are all greatly appreciated.
 
Last week. at the Diocesan Principal's Meeting we received some very exciting news about the state of Illinois Scholarship Tax Credit.  As the weeks go on I will be providing you with information about how you can  donate to this program but more importantly how you can apply to receive part of the millions of dollars that will be donated by others.  The application process will be on line and very similar to the FACTS application we have already been doing.  You will actually be able to complete both applications in the hope of receiving funds.  I will keep you posted on any new developments or details of this program.
 
 
Slowly but surely we have been receiving response from children interested in being a part of our school band.  If you have not returned the form, it is not too late to do so.  If you have lost the form. please see Mr. Abe for another one.
