I am still over at the Bath Museum with Marjorie and Carl Rehrig, Evelyn Hartzell, Agnes Melinsky, Mary Waltz and Diane Miller. Of course all of the gals were hugged by me. Sorry Carl. Mrs. Waltz is a keen 90 years young. Her daughter was a fine student of mine over at

Kindergarteners Elise Buss and Knox Patterson found some books they like at the school’s Fall Scholastic Book Fair. The book fair raised more than $4,500 for Holy Family School.
Submitted by KRISTINE PORTER The Scholastic book fair “Enchanted Forest: Let Your Imagination Grow” brought in a little more than $4,500 for Holy Family School, and sold 708 books. This equates to 127,440 minutes of reading, said Book Fair chairperson Joyce-Anne Schuster. “I’m really happy with the outcome of the fair,” Schuster said. “It was my first fair, and I was a little nervous to take it on without a co-chair. I had some amazing volunteers to help, so I’m excited how smoothly it went.”
The total sales were $4,509.38, and Schuster’s goal was $5,000 for purchases. “We were close. I’m hoping we can meet that goal in the spring,” she said. The Spring Fair will be held April 29 to May 3. As far as the theme of the next book fair, Schuster said, “I can’t give away the entire theme, but I’m sure it will be ‘DINOMITE.’ ” The fall book fair had plenty of World War II books available for budding history buffs, but Schuster said she highly recommends,
“Number the Stars” by Lois Lowry. It was her favorite book when she was in school. She also did a little reading between class visits during the fall book fair. “I was also glad I had time to read ‘A Dog’s Purpose.’ It was an amazing read,” she said.
