SJVA CARES

Thank you again for all the wonderful book donations! It has been amazing to see the

outpour of kindness and generosity that our students have shown for those in need.

We have now delivered books to schools in Mexico, Texas, Florida, and California to

support those affected by disaster. Further donations will be periodically mailed to

designated locations affected by disaster, including:

* California, Sonoma Fire

* Puerto Rico, Hurricane Maria

* Texas, Hurricane Harvey

* Florida, Hurricane Irma

* Mexico, Earthquake

* Nevada, Las Vegas

We will continue collecting books throughout the school year. There is a drop box in

the front courtyard where books can be donated, and books will also be collected from

classrooms weekly as needed.

A special thank you to Mrs. Lazear and the members of the Interact Club for all their

help with packaging the books for delivery. Your help is greatly appreciated.

There is no better way to show you care than with a book.
