The CHRISTMAS PROGRAM is THIS SUNDAY, December 12th, after the 10:00 am Mass, in the GYM. Students should wear dress clothing – no jeans (school dress code works nicely). Preschoolers will be dressing in costumes, to be provided by the school. If the weather turns bad, please stay tuned to the local radio & television stations for cancellations. Depending on the conditions, if we do have the program, we may continue in church or move to the gym. Students are to come to the gym immediately following Mass and go to their assigned seats. Parents & family members will be using the bleachers. Pray for good weather and hope for the best!
BASKETBALL WORK SCHEDULES ARE POSTED ON THE SCHOOL WEBSITE – under the SPORTS tab. If you do not have web access, please contact the school office for a hard copy. We will publish scheduled workers in the notes each week, but for planning purposes the full schedule will be found on our website. If you are scheduled to work the first game of the day/evening, please come 30 minutes early because teams arrive 30 minutes before the games. If you cannot work your scheduled time, please trade with someone. PARENTS – PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR SMALLER CHILDREN RUN THROUGH THE GYM & CAFETERIA DURING THESE GAMES – it is distracting to the players and does not look good to visitors. Also – only children of those parents working at the time may be in the concession/kitchen area. Parents – please supervise your children if they are in the kitchen with you. This is a safety issue, so please abide by these requests. Thank you for your consideration and thanks for all you do to make this a successful basketball season.

OLOS students will be participating in the Science Fair this year (occurs on alternating years). Our school science fair will be sometime in mid February. It is time now to be “getting on those thinking caps” to come up with a project idea. Students in grades 3rd through 8th will be required to do a project, which will be part of their science grade. Younger students are encouraged to do projects for show. Boards will be offered after the first of the year for a nominal fee. Students in grades 6th ,7th ,& 8th are required to also do a paper with their project. The diocesan fair will be held March 19th. More information will be provided after the Christmas vacation.
