THANK YOU! Thank you so much room parents – for the great activities and refreshments for the parties today! We could not do it without your wonderful help!

SPORTS PICTURES:  The volleyball & basketball teams will have their pictures taken (along with clubs, etc.) on Wed., Nov. 18^th. We are in need of a volunteer parent from any of those teams to help with pictures. You will receive a $25 gift certificate towards your child’s sports picture. Please contact Rosie in the office if you could help out. Also, volleyball girls – go ahead and turn in your uniforms with your name on them, and we will hold them for the team picture. Make sure to send them back – we want to have the whole team in uniform for the picture. Basketball uniforms will be assigned next week and held in the office until picture day. Order forms for team pictures will be sent home next Friday.

COOKIE DOUGH SALES:  OLOS School will once again be selling cookie dough. We will be doing this to accrue the funds to send all of our teachers to the NCEA conference, which will be held in St. Louis in the Spring of 2017. 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. Cookie dough will be delivered, to be picked up by the parents, on Tuesday, December 1^st. ALL ORDERS MUST BE PICKED UP – WE HAVE NO FREEZER SPACE TO STORE IT!

COOKIE DOUGH DELIVERY:  We will need parent help for filling the cookie dough orders when it is delivered on Tuesday, December 1^st. Approximate time for delivery is 12:00 – 1:00 pm. Help will be needed for sorting early and for helping parents find and check their orders until approximately 5:30. Help during any of this time – even if it’s just an hour, is greatly appreciated. Please send a note, or call the office, with your offer to help.

CALLLING ALL MILITARY!  All active military and veterans, their families, and the whole community, are invited to join the school children for a patriotic rosary on Wednesday, November 11^th, Veterans’ Day. We will begin at 2:15 pm, and meet at the flagpole, weather permitting (alternate site – gym). Please pass this invitation to family, friends, and neighbors. The school children will be wearing red/white/blue and camo that day, and all are invited to do the same, or dress in military attire. We look forward to having the veterans with us on Veterans’ Day and we thank them for their service to our country!

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.

OCTOBER PRESCHOOL FEES are posted on Option C, and if you owe, you will find notice in today’s folder.

 OCTOBER EXTENDED CARE FEES will be posted on Option C by Monday, and notices will be sent next Friday, if you owe.

 GERBES COMMUNITY REWARDS; OLOS School just received $41.06 for this quarter’s Community Rewards. If you haven’t signed up, please do so. This could ultimately replace a fundraiser if all participate and it is so easy! See details following.

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 to family and friends and thanks for supporting OLOS School!!!

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK COMMITTEE:  There will be a meeting on Monday, November 16^th, at 6:30 in the cafeteria. All are welcome! Come with enthusiasm and/or good ideas!

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.

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. Forward this address to everyone, and ask them to help OLOS School win a new playground!  If you do not wish to be contacted for any other promotions you can deselect those options. Thank you for your support!
