Included in this are lunch, preschool, extended care, book/tech, lost library or textbooks, non-returned uniforms, out of and in parish school support, etc. FINAL FEE REMINDERS ARE IN TODAY’S FOLDER.

GERBES:  OLOS has recently enrolled in the Gerbes “Community Rewards” program. This program offers money back to our school, based on enrolled customer’s spending. It is a really easy process. You just tie your Gerbes shopper’s card to our school account. If you don’t have a Gerbes shopper’s card, it takes less than a minute to get one at the store and also online. All the information needed to complete this process online is in the weekend bulletin. It takes less than 5 minutes to tie your shopper’s card to the school account. Get all your family and friends to register as well! The school will receive quarterly payments in cash form. We will update you as we receive those funds. This has the potential to be a huge moneymaker for the school – the key is to get many, many people involved. Please pass the word and thanks for supporting OLOS School!!!
