GRANDPARENTS’ DAY: OLOS School will be hosting Grandparents’ Day on Monday, Sept. 9 – 10:45-11:45. All students are encouraged to invite their grandparents to share lunch with them that day. Please see enclosed sign-up sheet for more information. Deadline for signing up for lunch will be Friday, Sept. 6 – NO EXCEPTIONS! We look forward to seeing all grandparents that day!

VETERANS HONORED:  We would like to invite all veterans to meet us around the flagpole in front of the middle school on 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. Please find 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. We are unsure of who will coordinate this event for our parish, but 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.

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.

  

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR: On Wednesday, Aug. 28^th, OLOS School students and staff commemorated the 50^th anniversary of the “I Have a Dream” speech, by a ringing of bells at 2:00 pm in the parking lot, along with many others across the country. Our prayers are for a united nation, under God.

YEARBOOKS:  If you ordered a qualifying packet, you should receive your “free” yearbook(s) in today’s folder. If you would like to purchase a copy, 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.

SUBS NEEDED AT OLOS SCHOOL: 60 college hours required. Please think of anyone you know who might be interested and let them know about this opportunity. We have very limited substitute help. Please contact Mrs. Werdehausen for more information.

FIELD TRIP COMMITTEE: Are you interested in serving on a committee to help plan field trips for this school year? Please contact Ashley Burnett or the school office with your offer to help. We thank Stacey Evers for her offer to volunteer.

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL: We do not have a “stock supply” of medications for students. You may choose to send in a pain reliever or other types of medicine for your child. Make sure to clearly mark the container(s), and send a note giving staff permission to dispense the medication, with explicit dosage instructions. Sometimes having medicine available here for your child can mean not having to come after him/her or making a special trip to bring

medications.

EXTENDED CARE SERVICES: In the event of inclement weather, or early dismissal due to unforeseen circumstances, 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. On regularly scheduled half days off (listed on school calendar), extended care is available from 12:00 – 5:30 pm.
