HALLOWEEN PARTIES/WALK: All students are invited and encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes for the walk, but please no scary, evil, or gory costumes. All classrooms will be ready to begin the walk, meeting in the parking lot, at 1:30 pm, sharp, so costuming needs to be finished before then. Room parents – the teachers depend on you to plan activities and refreshments for the party. Please feel free to contact any classroom parent to help provide things needed for the party.

DENTAL PRESENTATION:  The students will enjoy a dental presentation before the Halloween Walk on Friday, from 12:00 to 1:00 pm in the gym, presented by the office staff of Dr. Huber. This will be for all students, grades PK – 8^th.

BASKETBALL TEAMS:  This year, OLOS School will have two teams, one JV boys’ team, consisting of 7^th & 8^th grade boys, and one JV girls’ team, consisting of 6^th, 7^th, & 8^th graders. We will let you know when practices will begin. Remember, your child must have the following three items turned into the office to practice or play ball:  $20 per family/year sports fee, athletic form, and a physical. You will find notice in today’s folder if we are missing any of these items.

BOX TOPS: Please turn in all Box Tops by the end of October. Our next shipment will be sent in on November 2^nd. Thanks to all who clip & save. Thanks especially to Gina Adrian & Macy, who head up this program. We appreciate you!

SANTA STORE: If you have any new or like new items that would make good gifts, please set to the side for donation to the Santa Store. Most needed are items for dads and brothers. We will begin the collection closer to Christmas.

SCHOOL GROUNDS:  Please help our students stay safe! We ask that you not drive behind the church and middle school between the hours of 6:30 am to 5:30 pm. There are cones up but some drive between them or move them. If you have to get to the hall or other places to load or unload, please stop at the barrier, and speak with someone in the school/office/after school care staff, to make us aware that a vehicle will be coming through. Thank you for your cooperation.

LET’S WIN A FREE PLAYGROUND: Together Counts is a nationwide program inspiring active and healthy living. This program offers each year, a sweepstakes for schools to win a free playground. OLOS School is signed up for this promotion and you can go online and enter each day until March 2016. It takes only a minute to sign up initially and just a few seconds each day to submit an entry. Just think how much better our chances will be if many participate each day. So tell your friends, families, and associates.

This is the first time in many years that the NCEA conference is so close. We will begin sales on Thursday, Nov. 5, and end sales on Monday, Nov. 16.
