Testing has also been conducted at the Jefferson Street building, and we are awaiting results. HoLa’s First Volleyball Game! HoLa’s newly formed volleyball team, led by Srta. Martinho, will play in its first match against Link Community Charter School next Wednesday, April 27, 4:30­6pm in the Jefferson gym. Come cheer them on! Library Collection ­ We Need Books! Our Rue Library book drive is ongoing! We need Spanish language novels and non­fiction resources and reference materials such as dictionaries, thesauruses, encyclopedias in both languages. Donations can be dropped off at the Main Office in either building. Something to keep in mind: if you’re going on vacation to a Spanish­speaking country, pop by a bookstore while there and grab a couple of youth books to donate. These are resources that we can’t access easily, so it would be a huge help! Storm Drain Art Project All of the murals are complete! See HoLa’s contributions at:
