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!

COOKIE DOUGH SALES:  OLOS School is 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 began sales on Thursday, Nov. 5, and we will 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. Thus far, we have no volunteers.

 BASKETBALL PRACTICES:

JV GIRLS PRACTICE begins this Wednesday, November 11^th, after school until 5:30 pm. PARENTS PLEASE REMEMBER TO WRITE A NOTE FOR YOUR LADY COUGAR TO STAY AFTER SCHOOL FOR ALL PRACTICES. The girls will be practicing every Wednesday after school and later on Thursday evenings as well, until games begin. You will find a letter & form to return to your coach, Mark Adrian.

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.

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL: We do not have a “stock supply” of medications for students. You may choose to send in a pain reliever or other types of medicine for your child. Make sure to clearly mark the container(s), and send a note giving staff permission to dispense the medication, with explicit dosage instructions and dosage cups/spoons. These will be locked up in the office. Sometimes having medicine available here for your child can mean not having to come after him/her or making a special trip to bring medications.
