CATHOLIC SCHOOLS’ WEEK WAS A GREAT SUCCESS! The roller skating is over, the cookies have been baked and passed out, and the letters and cards delivered to our community and military. Then there was visiting with Father and Sr. Josetta, and the students and staff have had their treats too. What a wonderful week of celebration of our faith and academics! We thank all who helped with CSW in any way, but most especially we recognize you – the parents of our Catholic School families. It is a great thing you are doing for your children!
Italian Feast News: We will be preparing food, decorating, and setting up tonight (Friday), beginning at 6:30 pm. Please come to help if you possibly can so it doesn’t take so long to finish up.

For Catholic Schools Week, OLOS School was to nominate a “Catholic School Superhero” in a contest sponsored by the diocesan Catholic School office. We were to think of someone who models the characteristics of faith, academics, and service. The school has nominated Betty Pound as our “superhero”. Betty does much! Please read enclosed submission to the diocesan office, written by Mrs. Trachsel. When you see Betty – let her know how much we appreciate her!
We ordered more beef sticks and I will be selling them at lunchtime again for $1.00 each. If you would like a box of 30, just send in $30 to the office in a marked envelope, and I will send a box home to you. Thanks! …Mrs. Groose

NO PHONE CALLS WILL BE MADE INDIVIDUALLY TO PARENTS. If we dismiss early, we try to get an email out to parents. PLEASE TRY TO LIMIT CALLS TO SCHOOL ASKING IF WE ARE DISMISSING EARLY. Once the decision has been made, we contact the radio stations and television stations immediately. However, WE CANNOT DO THIS IN A TIMELY FASHION IF ALL THE PHONE LINES ARE TIED UP FIELDING INCOMING CALLS. Please also keep in mind that we are always looking out for the safety of all students and staff. If we call early, and not much happens weather-wise, all we can say is “better safe than sorry”. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
