RAVANICA KIDS READ
Last year's reading initiative for our children
was so very successful that our Church Library will sponsor it again this year!
The program will run for the entire school year to acquaint children with our
Church Library and to encourage its use. Children will receive a prize for each
book read leading up to a Gift Certificate from Borders when 10 books have been
read. Prizes this year will be different from those of last year. Our star
reader thus far this year is Marianna Lazich, daughter of parishioners Michael
and Marisa Lazich.
