The Used Book Sale: The used book was a huge success, it didn’t make the library rich but it did put at least one book in each of our students’ hands. It really was a fun event and the students enjoyed the sale. A BIG THANKS goes out to the girls and the boys who helped me set up and who were my sales clerks – you were truly a great help. It made me very proud to see how hard you worked for me and our school.




Book round up: Please check all those interesting places in your homes and vehicles where library books turn up, and return them to our St. Pat’s Library.

Thank you from

Mrs. Joblonkay

September 2013

It is going to be a great year and I can’t wait to start a new year in the library! Regular library classes will begin for all students the week of September 9th. Also a big thank you to all the parents, teachers and students who have donated books and materials to the library during the last school year.


- Please feel free to return any library books you found over the summer!

Please Parents conduct a search - at home, under your kids’ beds, in vehicles or even Grandparent’s homes for St. Patrick’s library books. We still have a large amount of books not returned from last school year! A note will be sent home with your child to let you know if a book or two has not been returned by them.

Thank you Mrs. Joblonkay

MS Read-A-Thon

Our school has decided to participate in the Ms Read-A-Thon which promotes reading and disability awareness. Pledge sheets were sent home with your child last Tuesday and this program will run for the next three weeks. (Feb 22nd – March 15th) After the 15th of March the students can bring in their cheques or money order in the Ms Read-A-Thon envelope and give to their classroom teacher. Mrs Joblonkay is hoping that ALL the children will have the envelopes / money in by March 22nd and she can send it in.

Thank you To Jackie Bonetti and Leanne Bos for their help in getting new books on to the shelves.

Book Round-Up!

I have recently noticed that there are lots of books outstanding from the Library, particularly from the easy read section. I would like parents to give their kid a reminder about books they are not using, and encourage a bit of a hunt around the house for strays. Thanks!



Ms Read-A-Thon Runs from February 22nd – March 15th (3 weeks)

A Speaker from the MS Read-a-Thon will be coming on Tuesday, Feb. 23rd at 9:45 in the gym. There will be a 30 minute presentation and then a short video. The MS representative will talk on the disease and then explain the reading program. After the presentation the students will be given an envelope with a pledge sheet. The children can start collecting pledges.

After the 15th of March the students can bring in their cheques or money order in the Ms Read-A-Thon envelope and give to their classroom teacher. I am hoping that ALL the children will have the Envelopes / money in by March 22nd and I can send it in.
