Thanks so much, in advance, to Nancy Kliethermes, Stacy Schrimpf, and Kim Evers, for offering to drive that day. Look for permission forms to come home next week in the Friday folder.

SHIRT & HOODIE ORDERS:  We have had a few ask about the shirt and hoodie orders placed with the registration packets and at open house. The orders are being worked on and part of them should be in on Monday, and the rest filled by Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Thank you for your patience.

HOME & SCHOOL MEETING: Mark your calendar now for the first Home & School meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, October 13, 2015, at 7:00 pm. Father will be presenting this meeting and strongly encourages at least one parent from all school families to attend. There will be no homework assigned that evening, and all families represented will receive a dress down pass for their students. We will begin the evening with a CARRY IN DINNER at 7:00 and have the meeting shortly afterward. We are looking for a great turnout!

VOLLEYBALL NEWS:  The JV girls WON their match last week with set scores of 26-24 (win), 25-22 (win), & 16—25 (loss) against St. Peter, Fulton. Way to go LADY COUGARS!

BOX TOPS: Earn 5 bonus box tops just for signing up for emails, which save you money and give you opportunities to earn more box tops for our school. Remember – every Box Top is worth 10 cents. See flyer enclosed in today’s folder.

GERBES:  OLOS has 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 is online. @ www.gerbes.com/communityrewards. Our school code is 48253. It takes just a couple minutes so 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!!! On the reverse of the Box Tops flyer in this folder you will find a report on how other schools in the area are doing with this program, and while we are not located in the city, we should take every opportunity to earn this “free” money.

GIRLS AGES 3^RD THROUGH 8^TH GRADES:  The 2015 Eugene Lady Eagles Softball team invites all future Lady Eagle players to Senior Night on Tuesday, Sept. 15^th @ Eugene High School ball field. The game begins @ 5:00 vs. Tuscumbia. Wear Eagles spirit gear! Free admission for Future Lady Eagle Players! You can go to this and get back in time for the Book Fair!

HEALTH SCREENINGS:  The Miller County nurses will be here on Friday, September 25^th, to perform our health screenings. The students will be checked for height, weight, vision, hearing, lice, and immunization status. If your child was missing any immunizations or records, you should have received notice in last week’s folder. Please comply with the request for immunizations.
