St. Rose of Lima School hosted a Scholastic Book Fair Oct 1-7 in the parish Hall, earning just over $4,000 in new books for the preschool and grades 1-8 classrooms and the school library! Thanks to generous upfront “shopping spree” donations by the Knights of Columbus and St. Rose Ladies Guild and the many parents and grandparents that donated from the Teacher’s Wish List, this year’s Fair was the most successful in year’s past.
