Lil Steamer Families --
Each year, we have #SteamerNation community members who are looking to help families who may need a little assistance this holiday season. If you know of a family who may need such support, please let me know and I will reach out to the family to make confidential arrangements.
In addition, if you are willing to help assist #SteamerNation families this holiday season, please let me know and I will provide the needed information to do so.
I can be reached via email at jhoese@riverbendschools.net or at (815)589-2911.

From the dest of: Counselor Mrs. Meumann
It’s so important for our children to make kindness part of their daily lives. As the holidays approach, we can encourage them to do some random acts of kindness. Here are a few ideas:
Donate toys or books you no longer need.
Donate money to an organization you participate in.
Pay for someone else’s order at the drive through.
Send cards to men and women who are serving our country.
Tell jokes to make someone smile.
Donate food to your food bank.
Donate pet supplies to the shelter.
Help someone do a chore or other job.
Do yard work for an elderly neighbor.
Virtual Book Fair
Special note SHIPPING is FREE on all BOOK orders over $25. If a pencil or eraser or non-book items are placed in the order, shipping charges will be attached to the order!!!!!
The virtual book store is amazing to browse. The book store gives the experience of walking into the Scholastic book fair. Double Click on the book and read about each book. It's amazing!
We are excited to offer this new Scholastic Book Fair at this time. We felt it was the safest way to still have a book fair and enjoy a new learning experience. We look forward to our Spring book fair and hope to see everyone then.
Thank you for supporting the library!
Happy Thanksgiving,

Plasma Donations Needed
Our service area is in dire need of convalescent plasma. Please consider donating or passing along the information to all your contacts who have recovered from COVID-19 and might be eligible to donate.
Here is the link for Self- Referral:
https://www.bloodcenter.org/hospitals/patient-services/convalescent-plasma/
Once you fill out the form, you will be contacted to get confirmation/doctor referral. Once you have been deemed "eligible for CCP donation,” MVRBC will contact you to get you on the schedule somewhere near you. This whole process, from self-referral form being sent to scheduling the appointment, takes about 48 hours- 72 hours.
Attached is the CCP Letter and CCP flyer for recovered patients. Feel free to print and distribute as many as you like.
Donors must be 17 years or older, High School Seniors or College Students home from college that have recovered from COVID -19 are eligible. Please spread the word.
Thank you for considering, it may saves someone's life,
Andrea
