GRANDPARENTS
DAY: This Thursday, Sept. 11th, all
grandparents (or grandparent “subs”) are invited to share Mass & bingo with
their grandchildren. We will begin the morning with 8:00 am Mass (1st
& 2nd will be doing the ministry). Students will be allowed to
sit with their grandparents at Mass.
PATRIOTIC
ROSARY: Also on Sept. 11th, OLOSS will be
hosting a patriotic rosary. All are invited and encouraged to attend.
Especially make a note to invite all active military and veterans that you may
know. The rosary will begin at 2:30 pm, and be prayed in their honor.
YEARBOOKS: We have a few 2013-14
yearbooks for sale in the office for the price of $12. If you would like to
purchase one, please send payment in a marked envelope with check made payable
to OLOS. Your order will be sent in the next Friday folder.
NEEDED:
Gallon ice-cream buckets for kitchen. Please send in any that you want
to get rid of. Thanks!
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.
DINNERS
NEEDED: We
have several families in the parish that have family members in and out of the
hospital. We are asking for any donations of freezer meals (homemade or
otherwise) on Monday. We will
deliver them to the families that evening. Hopefully, we can continue doing
this occasionally as a school service project.
CHANGE
OF DATE: The book fair night originally scheduled for Sept.
18 has been rescheduled to Tuesday, Sept. 16th.
ADD
TO YOUR SEPTEMBER CALENDAR: Student Health Screenings – Sept.
26th, by the Miller
County
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.
DELINQUINT
LUNCH BILLS: If a student account falls behind on lunch
payment, OLOS reserves the right to serve the student a peanut butter sandwich
instead of the hot lunch. This would only occur after notice was made to the
parent with a designated deadline date for payment.
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.
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. Please note that the “main entrée” is the protein item.
For example, if our meal is vegetable soup with grilled cheese & string
cheese, the substitution would be for the cheese sandwich & string cheese,
not for the vegetable soup.
TARGET
TAKE CHARGE OF EDUCATION: The school recently received
$157.81 from this program. Every time you shop with your REDcard and designate OLOS School
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.
PRESCHOOL PARENTS:
Unless authorized through Marie, no switching of days is allowed for
part-time preschoolers. The only exceptions would be for classroom parties and
field trips. However, even for these days, you must contact Marie for
authorization.
BEEF STICKS: Mrs. Groose is selling beef sticks for $1 each. If
you would like any, please send in your $ and Mrs. Groose will send them home.
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.
