Congratulations to the OLOS JV Boys Basketball team! These boys won FIRST PLACE at the High Point Tournament held in December. Congrats to Sheldon Schulte, Alex Schulte, Zachary Scheuler, Kyle Kliethermes, Sam Beck, Noah Evers, & Zachary Bond. Watch the Eldon Advertiser for a picture of the team with their trophy. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU BOYS!!!

Please send in all Christmas bags and tissue paper that you may not want to keep. We will store them for next year’s Santa store. Also, we always run short on “guy” items. If you see anything that would work for them and also gift bags on sale after Christmas and would like to donate them it would be wonderful! You can send them to school anytime.

Thanks for your help! Through your efforts OLOS recently received $43.00 for the used printer & laser cartridges. We also received $270.50 for the Box Tops for Education. Thanks to all who clip and save these items for our fundraising. Every little bit helps!

In the event of inclement weather, when school may have to dismiss early, there will be NO EXTENDED CARE SERVICES available. All students should be picked up at the dismissal time which would be announced with the dismissal notification.

Do you have any good ideas for the Reading Counts field trip at the end of the year? If you do, please jot them down & send them in, email us, or give us a call. We need & welcome all input.

SCIENCE FAIR – FEBRUARY 15TH - OLOS School will participate in the Science Fair. All students in grades 3rd through 8th will be required to do a project, which will be part of their science grade. Students in grades 6th through 8th will also be required to submit a paper with their project. Students in 6th, 7th, & 8th grades will be eligible to compete in the diocesan fair and should make their project in one of the three categories of Life, Physical or Earth Science. We highly encourage all students to work individually; however, if two students work together they must be in the same grade. The OLOS Science Fair is scheduled for February 15, 2013. Winners from OLOS will compete at the Diocesan Science Fair on March 9, 2013. YOU HAVE RECEIVED SCIENCE FAIR PACKET GUIDELINES. DO NOT THROW THIS AWAY – YOU WILL NEED THIS AS A REFERENCE TOOL!! Students must run an actual experiment and follow closely the Scientific Method, as outlined in the packet. DISPLAY BOARDS ARE BEING OFFERED IN TODAY’S FOLDER.

Students can purchase beef sticks during lunch for $1 each. If you would like a box of 30 sent home, the price is $30. All profits go to the school. Thank you for your support!

The Italian Feast is scheduled for February 2, 2013. To make this the successful fundraiser, we count on the school families in several ways. The first way is donation of time and talent in working at and helping plan the event. The other obvious way we count on families is through donations of items for the Silent Auction. We are asking each school family to donate one item of value to place directly on the Silent Auction. We also ask that each family donate an item of at least $5 value to the “classroom basket”. Each classroom has picked a theme and is responsible for compiling this “themed basket” to put up for bidding at the auction. If you cannot come up with something for the themed basket, please send $5 to the classroom teacher, so that he/she may do the shopping for you. With the seasonal sales, you may be able to get better deals now than waiting until the last minute to purchase your items. The classroom themes are as follows:
PK – Mizzou; K/1 – Game Night, 2 – Anything Dr. Suess, 3/4 – Fishing, 5 – Movie Night, 6 – Spring cleaning supplies, 7 – Hunting, 8 – Cardinals

A thank you received from Birthright (for the baby items – “gifts for Jesus”)
Dear Students of Our Lady of the Snows,
Thank you so much for your generous gifts & for taking the time to deliver to the Birthright office. I apologize I was not able to spend more time with you and show you our clothing room, the fetal model display, etc. We do appreciate your gifts – what a wonderful, bountiful assortment! Please know you generosity will make life easier for lots of new moms and babes.            …Judy @ Birthright
