GRANDPARENTS’ DAY is MONDAY: OLOS School will be hosting Grandparents’ Day on Monday, Sept. 9 – 10:45-11:45, when grandparents will be enjoying lunch with the students. Because we have to have enough food bought ahead, the deadline for signing up for lunch was today, Friday, Sept. 6. We look forward to seeing all grandparents on Monday!

VETERANS HONORED:  We would like to invite all veterans to meet us around the flagpole in front of the middle school on Wednesday, September 11^th at 2:00 pm. We will be honoring all veterans during this ceremony, so tell other vets you know. After the flag-raising ceremony, please join us in the gym. We look forward to seeing you on Sept. 11^th!

  

PRO-LIFE PILGRIMAGE: Parents of students in the older grades. In last week’s Friday folder there was enclosed detailed information regarding the annual trip to Washington D. C. from our diocese for the March for Life, scheduled for Jan. 20-23, 2014.  Pray over this opportunity to witness your faith and beliefs. Adult chaperones are also needed. Sheila Suess will coordinate this event for our parish. If you are interested, please let us know in the school office so that we may pass this information on. The spots fill up quickly, so time is of the essence.

SCHOOL MALL:  This week your child brought home the School Mall booklets, asking that they be filled out at home with addresses of 11 people. The school receives $2.25 for each completed booklet, BUT DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR ORDERS PLACED. You may want to let others know this. Congratulations to Gabby Morff, whose name was drawn from those returning their booklets on the first day. She won a  “mega music machine.”

MULCH NEEDED: If you or anyone you know has any extra mulch, the flower beds by the school could use some. Call the office or unload and spread when it is convenient for you. Thank you!

STUDENT COUNCIL SPONSORS NEEDED:

We are looking for parent volunteers to help with the Student Council. The Council generally meets once a month and works on activities to “brighten” the students lives at school. Call the office if you would like to help.

CARTRIDGES: We received $27.30 for a recent shipment of cartridges. Thanks so much to all who send those used ink cartridges in to school. This money helps us purchase ink for the school computers.

HELIAS OPEN HOUSE: Helias Catholic High School would like to invite all OLOS students to an Open House on Sunday, Sept. 15^th from 12:00 to 2:00 pm. Anyone with an interest in Helias is encouraged to attend. Did you know that at the end of your Junior year at Helias Catholic you can have 18 hours of college credit? Seniors can graduate with 44+ hours of college credit.

LIBRARY HELP: We are in need of a library helper on Tuesdays to help Christina read to the students. Please call the office if you would like to volunteer.

LUNCH NOTICE: For students purchasing daily lunches: Students may choose a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in lieu of the main entrée if they have a note from home. They must bring a note on the day that the substitution is desired and must present it to the classroom teacher first thing in the morning. SACK LUNCH STUDENTS: We are asking for donations of paper plates for students heating up their lunches.

  

YEARBOOKS:   If you would like to purchase a yearbook, the cost is $12. Please make checks payable to OLOS School and remit in a marked envelope. Your copy will be sent home in the folder on the following Friday.

  

LATE BREAKING SCORES!!! Congratulations to the JV Girls Volleyball team. They won their first set of games against St. Peter’s School on Thursday evening. The scores were 25-13, 25-17, 25-19 (?). Way to go LADY COUGARS!!!!

  

DEADLINE FOR FRIDAY NOTES:

Thursdays, 9:00 am. All non-school related flyers need to be copied ahead of time on paper (the school cannot afford to supply paper for outside events). Upon approval by the principal, the information will then be placed in the Friday folder as a courtesy. It is not appropriate for the school to send out extraneous information that can be handled other ways. Also, if you have items for the Friday notes, please write these items up, send them in, or email them to rosie@radiowire.net

(call to let me know you have emailed please). I don’t mind doing a little editing and rewording, but the bulk of the item should be outlined with details.

Remember to return your folder

on MONDAY.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!
