GRANDPARENTS & MILITARY: Thanks so much to all the grandparents who were here on Thursday morning for Mass and bingo. We so enjoy having them with us! Also, thanks to those who shared the patriotic rosary on that same afternoon. We thank all military for their great service to our country!

NEEDED: Gallon ice-cream buckets for kitchen.

NEEDED: For Pioneer Day, aluminum pie pans to eat our “pioneer lunch” on.

NEEDED:  Donations of underwear and pants (stretchy is best) sizes 4-7 for preschool.

STUDENT COUNCIL LEADER NEEDED: We are asking one or two parent volunteers to work with the Student Council this year. The council generally meets once a month and sponsors other activities through the year. Please contact Mrs. Werdehausen with your offer to help.

ADD TO YOUR SEPTEMBER CALENDAR: Student Health Screenings – Sept. 26th, by the Miller County Health Dept. WE ARE IN NEED OF THREE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP WITH THESE SCREENINGS. Please contact someone in the office with your offer to help.

MARCH FOR LIFE:  Today, the 7th & 8th graders are receiving the papers for the March for Life, to be held in Washington D. C. January 20 – 23rd. If you (as a chaperone) or your child is interested, you will need to have all forms filled out, make a deposit, and a copy of the insurance card. We are awaiting word from Sheila Suess, our parish coordinator, for deadlines for her needs. Please note – the school is not coordinating this event, nor is it school sponsored. We will, however, forward paperwork/fees to Sheila, as necessary.

PIONEER DAY is scheduled for Monday, October 13th (Columbus Day). We scheduled it on this day because of the state holiday. We are asking for parent helpers – both to help in the classrooms & grounds with pioneer activities and with moving children between these activities. Please contact school office personnel with your offer to help out. All students (and adults!) are encouraged to dress in pioneer clothing for the day. If the student chooses not to dress in pioneer clothing, the normal dress code is still in force.

BOOK FAIR/BREAKFAST:  Remember the Book fair & Breakfast this Sunday, serving from 7:45 to 11:45. On the menu is rope sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy, coffee/juice. The cost is $7 for adults and $5 for children 4-10, with 3 and under free. If you did not get a chance to sign up to help, just show up! The second shift is a little short on help – so it would be appreciated!

VOLLEYBALL NEWS:  Last Saturday, the 4-5 girls lost all three against Trinity but the girls did a great job! Their scores were: First game- 25-21, 25-16, 26-24 – so all very close! Scores for the previous three JV games are as follows: Game 1 on 9/4 vs. St. Stan.: 10-25, 22-25, 18-25, a loss, Game 2 on 9/4 vs. St. George: 25-16, 25-17, 20-25, a win, and Game 3 on 9/11 vs. Good Shepherd: 25-6, 25-3, 25-10, a huge win with all three matches! Great job volleyball players – we are proud of you! Thanks to Gina Adrian & Dakota Graham for reporting these scores!

HANDBOOK SIGN-OFF: If you have not already done so, please return the handbook sign-off, sent home last Friday. We MUST have this form signed by all parents. If you misplaced yours, another copy may be found in today’s folder.

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.

Dress Down on Fridays only – change for the 2014-15 school year. K-8th graders may only use dress down passes on Fridays this year. Two dress down days will be designated on the calendar each month when all students may dress down. On non-designated Fridays, students may use any dress down pass they may have. We are no longer doing the monthly dollar dress down days.
PE REMINDER: On Mondays, the 5-8th graders are allowed to change in to a T-shirt and gym shorts during their gym time & then they may wear these clothes home.
