Faith in First
Our religion lessons this week will focus on the sacrament of Baptism. We will identify Baptism as the sacrament with which the Church welcomes new members. We will share ways in which we can act as welcoming people in our everyday lives.
Talent Show
Recycle And Read
This Friday, May 13 through May 19, Hodgins Library will sponsor the 8th Annual Recyle & Read Event, and everyone is invited to participate. What is it, you might ask? Simply put, our MJS community has been dropping off their gently used books during the school year. Our Library Committee sorts through all titles - infant through adult - displaying them on tables in the library during Recycle and Read. Parents, students, faculty and staff can stop by and pick up books to take home, free of charge.
The library is still taking gently used books for Recycle and Read. So, if you have a shelf of books you would like to part with and pass along to other eager readers, bring them to the library this week. For your convenience, MJS Girl Scouts will have a book curbside collection on Euclid Avenue on Tuesday May 10 and Wednesday May 11, from 7:40-8:00 a.m.
