VALENTINE’S PARTIES will be

WELLNESS POLICY: A copy of the school’s Wellness Policy is
kept on file in the school office and available for public review.
DRIVERS NEEDED: We are in need of several drivers to take the eighteen 1st
& 2nd graders to Miller Co. Nursing Home on Wednesday, Feb. 3RD,
for a visit during CSW. Please contact Mrs. Groose or the office if you are
able to drive that day.
BOX TOPS:
Gina will be sending in our next batch of Box Tops at the end of February.
Please clip & send in! Thank you!
CLARIFICATION FOR DRESS DOWN DAYS:
We have recently noticed an increase in
tight leggings on the girls in the upper grades on dress down days. This is not
acceptable on regular dress code days; neither is it acceptable on dress down
days. Though the published dress code does not currently explicitly say tight
leggings are not permitted on dress down days, it is implied from the fact that
on regular dress code days these are not permitted. Henceforth, no form fitting leggings, jeggings, tights, or yoga pants
will be allowed on dress down days. If in doubt – DO NOT WEAR IT! Further
violations will result in revocation of all dress down privileges. Exception
– as stated in dress code policy in handbook – Stretch pants may be worn in
Kindergarten through 2nd grade.
8TH GRADE RETREAT: The 8th graders will be on retreat
in Folk on Thursday, February 11th. Stacy Schrimpf asked about and
offered to drive & chaperone our five 8th graders to the
retreat. She has room for one additional parent, so if anyone would like to go
along, contact Stacy or someone in the office.
ITALIAN FEAST: Please keep trying to
sell dinner tickets and hang flyers! If you need additional tickets, please
contact the office. All money & unsold tickets need to be turned into the
office by January 25th, 2016.
SILENT AUCTION CLASS BASKETS: Each
family is asked to donate to their class
basket and either donate an item per family or get a donation from a local
business or crafty friend. You can also go together with other school
families and donate bigger items as well. Together we can make sure we
continue to live up to our reputation for having an AWESOME silent auction at
our Italian Feast! Classroom themes are as follows:
PK – “Game
Night/Family Fun Night”
K – “Anything
Dr. Suess”
1/2 – “Disney”
3/4 – “Take
me out to the Ballgame – Cardinals!”
5/6
- “Movie Night”
7/8 -
“Snack Attack – Candy basket”
READING COUNTS SHIRTS may be
worn any day in lieu of the normal dress code shirt.
BASKETBALL UPDATE: The Lady Cougars lost a close game Wednesday
night to St. George, Linn, with a score of 27-21.
LOOKING AHEAD: OLOS School is seeking someone to eventually take over coordination of ballgames,
including scheduling workers for games & stocking concessions. Gina Adrian
is currently in charge of this position, but it would be a good idea to have
someone work with Gina for a year, so that the transition would be easier. It
would be great if a parent of a middle school aged child would take this over.
Contact the office or Gina with questions or to volunteer.
