IT’S TIME TO SEND IN THOSE EGGS! The preschool through 5th grade students will be enjoying the annual OLOS School Easter Egg Hunt on Wednesday, April 4th. We are asking each student to bring in one dozen candy filled plastic eggs (no chocolate or anything that would melt please). Thank you!
The 3rd and 4th grade will be presenting The Passion Play this Wednesday, April 4th at 2:30 pm in the gym. All family members & parishioners are invited and encouraged to attend.
Easter Break will be April 5-April 9th. We will resume on April 10th. No notes will be coming home from the office next week, due to the short week. We will, however, be sending out end of month billings on Wednesday. Please pay close attention to any bills due and try to project what fees may be needed to finish out the year. Remember – no grade cards or diplomas will be released until ALL SCHOOL FEES ARE PAID.
Thanks to Missy Beck, Laura Schulte, Lori Evers for volunteering to coordinate the 8th grade graduation reception. All 7th grade parents may be contacted to provide refreshments for this event.
8th grade parents: Cap & gown fees are $8.50, which can be paid at any time. Guidelines for dress: Boys – dress pants, collared shirt, dress shoes, tie is optional; Girls – dresses, no more than 2 inches above the knee, no spaghetti straps showing (may wear shawl to cover). Students will be wearing cap/gown for graduation and awards portion of the reception.
Thanks so much to Stacy Schrimpf for volunteering to do the slide show for the graduation reception. NOW IS THE TIME - 8TH GRADERS - TO SEND IN 8 PICTURES OF YOURSELF (generally from little on up to present) or a CD with these images. Stacy would like to get started on this project ASAP!
Thanks to everyone who came to and helped at the Book Fair. I think everyone had a good time. Congratulations to Kyle Bond for guessing closest on the candy guessing game. There were 593 candies in the jar. Congratulations also to the 7/8th grades classes for winning book fair bingo, for which they received dress down passes. Also to the
4th grade class - They collected the most change last week - $46.15 between the five of them – and won the pizza party which they enjoyed on Wednesday. They collected just about a$1 more than the 5th graders – so it was really a close race! Way to go 4th graders! $220.54 was collected among all the classrooms and this money was used to purchase books for the school. Thanks so much for supporting our school. I would like to thank everyone who helped organize, plan, decorate, and run the book fair and breakfast. We appreciate all you do for our school!
...Mrs. Groose
Mark your calendar: The Golf Tournament date has been set for Friday, May 18th. Please be working on getting those “hole sponsors” and think about donating your time/talent to help out. Contact Mark Adrian, Rex Buechter, Matt Trachsel or the school know if you can help out in any way.
Mark your calendar: Freshman Orientation at Cole R-V High School for any incoming Freshman for the 2012-13 school year. We will also have personnel from Cole R-V come in to talk to our students about classes/scheduling, but as of yet, this date is unscheduled due to the change to the eight block schedule next year.
Gardening Committee: Thanks so much to the ladies who helped clean up around the school on Tuesday evening. We thank: Stacey Evers, Brittany Schulte, Lynn Morgan, Jeanne Buechter, Lori Evers, Nancy & Brianna Kliethermes, and Marie Massman. You did a great job! The list of “willing workers” – also includes Gina Adrian. We need more volunteers to water during the summer and pull a few weeds. In previous years we have been able to schedule a person/family for each week during the summer. We hope to get enough volunteers to do that again so that everyone has to do once or twice through the summer. Please write a note, email, or call the office with your offer to help. Thanks so much for all you do to support OLOS School!
