The River’s Edge Book Club of Marion hosted a successful annual Holiday Children’s Book Drive this past December 2024. This season, the Book Club selected the Nativity Preparatory School in New Bedford to support. The school, recently celebrating their 25th anniversary, is an independent, tuition-free school for middle school age boys. Working with Elizabeth Mello, the school’s Director of Advancement and External Relations, the Book Club disseminated book lists to support the English Language Arts program as part of the required reading and additional texts to be made available in their school library for check out. As a result of the Book Club’s push to augment the school’s book supply, more than 350 books were donated. The River’s Edge Book Club members would like to thank everyone for their participation and generosity.
