Congratulations to the OLOS students whose projects were selected to go on to the Diocesan Science Fair which will be held March 19th. The winners & their projects/categories are (grades 6-8): Life Science: 1st place - “DNAana EGGstraction” – by Maggie Morris & Tori Adrian, Alternate – “Chow Time” – by Mikenzie Farris & Sierra Evers: Physical Science:  1st place – “Which Fingernail Polish Has the Longest Weartime?” – by Sydney Trachsel & Rachel Wood,  Alternate – “Hairspray vs. Stain Remover” – by Morgan Pringer & Alison Buechter; Earth Science: “Melting Away! Let’s Get Rid of that Ice!” – by Daniel Beck, Alternate – “What Ice Melt Product Works Best?” – by Jake Brockman. If the first place winner in each category cannot attend, the alternate will be asked to go in their place. ALL OF THE STUDENTS DID A GREAT JOB ON THEIR PROJECTS!!!  We are always astounded by the ideas that the Science Fair generates. We know that it is a lot of work – for the students & their parents alike!!! We would especially like to thank our two wonderful judges – who gave up their entire day to talk with our students and listen to their interviews – Bill Feind & Kevin Richards. We could not have done it without you! FANTASTIC JOB EVERYONE & remember – it only happens every OTHER year!!!

MORE GREAT NEWS!!! The JV Girls Basketball team won their first round at the Catholic Bowl last weekend, playing against the St. Martin’s team, with a final (and very close) score of 30-27! They will be playing in the SEMIFINALS on Saturday, Feb. 26th at 3:30 pm at St. Peters against Holy Family. If they would win that game, they would play the final game on Sunday at Lincoln University Jason Gymnasium at 2:30 pm. The JV Girls won against Holy Family last Thursday night (Feb. 17th) with a score of 32-18. GOOD LUCK TO THESE GIRLS AS THEY WORK HARD THIS WEEKEND TO WIN THEIR GAMES!!! We are proud of you!!!

Snow Make up Days – Revised:   As in now stands, school will be in session until Friday, May 20th. We will also be in session ALL day on Wed., April 20th & we will be in session ½ day on Holy Thursday, April 21st. Tues., April 26th is also a snow make up day.

Please return all uniforms – washed – to the school office. Please place in a bag with the child’s name on it.

The OLOS Student Council will be sponsoring a “Dress In Green” Day for St. Patrick’s Day again this year. We thought we would get the word out early so that you have more of a chance to be creative and find “green” items. We will choose best dressed winners from each class – one boy & one girl. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17th. Thanks to all who supported our Valentine Candygram sales. You are appreciated!

There will be a STUDENT COUNCIL MTG. THIS MONDAY – Feb. 28th until 3:30 pm to take down the Valentine’s decorations and to discuss plans for St. Patrick’s Day & Easter.

Change of menu – Thursday, March 3rd we will have the 7th & 8 gr. favorite meal:  Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes with gravy, corn & hot rolls.


Mrs. Groose is selling BEEF STICKS at lunchtime. They are $1 each.

LOOKING AHEAD…We will host our BOOKFAIR NIGHT – “A Night of Magic” – on Thursday, March 24th. We will have a magician performing that evening and many other exciting things. A BOOKFAIR BREAKFAST is also planned for Sunday, March 20th. Mark your calendars now & make plans to attend and support these exciting school events!
