The library is still missing books. PLEASE look for missing books and get them back to the library! If the book is truly lost, you may pay for it. If a family is experiencing hardship, accommodations can be made for the student to work it off. Unfortunately if the debt is not satisfied by the end of the school year, we must withhold the report card. PLEASE come see Mrs. Berbeza as soon as possible if there is a problem.

If you came from another Christina School, the library debt will have followed you. Mrs. Berbeza will be more than happy to settle up the debt and either send the book or money to your previous school. Do not wait, please take care of this matter as soon as possible. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
