Book Sale back in business The newly-renovated lobby at the Lee Memorial Library is complete and the ongoing Book Sale hosted by the Friends of the Thanksgiving Tea (continued from page 7) national observance. Lincoln’s proclamation brightened the spirits of the American people, who at the time were dealing with many difficulties and deprivation. Today, American children realize that one aspect of Thanksgiving involves gratitude for having enough food to eat and encourages children to think of others. “The tea is another opportunity for our students and seniors to develop intergenerational relationships,” said Ho-Ho-Kus Superintendent Deborah Ferrara. “Senior citizens can play a significant role in young people’s lives, especially during the holiday season. Having retired seniors serving as mentors in our school ensures the experience and wisdom of older adults are available to children who might not have that experience any other way. Senior citizens, by interacting with our school children during a festive event, provide an opportunity for these two generations to work together, to get to know one another, and to respect each other.” Students will set up for the tea and act as servers, and chorus students will sing selections from their winter program. Students will also read poetry and other appropriate selections. Faculty members who are guiding the service learning program this year are Peggy Finan, Joan Holsten, Diane Murray, Pamela Nicholson, William Quigley, and Meredith Smolyn. To donate or volunteer, call (201) 6524555 and speak with Mrs. Murray at extension 128, or Mr. Quigley at extension 123.
