ITALIAN FEAST REMINDERS:
Work List: Please turn in your work list sign up sheets ON MONDAY. The Italian Feast is quickly approaching and we have lots of planning left to do.
Silent Auction: Please help make the Silent Auction successful again this year. We ask each family to donate to their class theme baskets as well as help round up other nice items for the Auction. Please send these into school at any time so we can start preparing the bid sheets. If you would like to go together with other families and donate some bigger items that would be great too. Class Basket Themes: PK – Scrapbooking, K/1 – Sports Day, 2 – A Day at the Beach, 3/4 – Camping, 5 – Kitchen stuff, 6 – Religious, 7/8 – Mizzou. Every child in the classroom should either bring an item for their classroom basket or send in $5 to the classroom teacher so that they may do the shopping for the basket.

Lunch for Jan. 17th will be: Spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, fresh fruit
Special note for parents of students attending the Pro-Life rally in Washington
Because of limited seating on the van, only students who have contracted for bus services may ride. This means that if a child who normally rides the bus invites a friend over, the parent must make other arrangements for pick-up. Permission may be granted by request in the case of extenuating circumstances – and in this case the parent would need to speak with Mrs. Trachsel.
Box Tops for Education: We received $210.80 for the Box Tops for Education campaign. Thanks to all who clip those box tops - we receive 10 cents each for them, and if you pay attention, you really can collect them pretty quickly because they are on so many of the groceries you may be buying. Thanks to Jeanne & girls for taking care of this campaign!
8th grade retreat @ Folk – scheduled for Fri, Feb. 18th. Thanks so much to Patsy Bond for volunteering to drive & chaperone our 6 students that day. The fee for each student to attend will be $10, which is paid by the parent. You may send your payment in anytime before January 17th, checks payable to OLOS. (Please note – the retreat is not Jan. 18th, as listed on calendar sent home before Christmas.)
