GOLF TOURNAMENT NEWS:  The annual OLOSS Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday, May 14th at Redfield Golf Course in Eugene. Registration will begin at 7:00 am with an 8:00 am tee-time. Today in the folder you will find a letter to parents and also a registration form for players. Get the word out now and try to get people signed up to play and sponsor holes for this event!

BOX TOPS:  Gina will be sending in our next batch of Box Tops at the end of February. Please clip & send in! Thank you!

CONTAINERS NEEDED:  The kitchen is in need of gallon ice-cream buckets and any larger type containers (even whipped topping containers) for freezing. Please send in any that you may have. Thank you!

MICROWAVE NEEDED: The microwave in the kitchen went out recently and we are really missing it. If anyone has an extra or would like to purchase & donate a new one, it would be greatly appreciated.

DRESS DOWN PASSES can now be used on Wednesdays as well as Fridays until the end of the year.

STATIONS:  Students will be attending Stations of the Cross each Friday at 2:15 pm. If you or a grandparent is attending and would like to take your child after the service, please send a note to school. This will enable the student to bring his/her backpack to church.

WELCOME NEW BABY! Congratulations to Megan, Charlie, Anna, Abby on sweet new little baby sister Katherine Frances Hope Eickhoff, born Wednesday, weighing in at 6 lbs, 10 oz. Congratulations also to happy parents, Rachael & Bobby and to Grandma Louise here at school.
  
BASKETBALL UPDATE:  We had a couple very exciting games last night at St. Peter’s school! The JV girls WON their game, with a score of 36-20. After tying or being nearly tied at the end of each quarter, the JV boys lost their game to St. Pete’s, with a final score of 39-35. Great effort, boys! We are proud of all of our COUGARS!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL PLAYERS, PLAYING THEIR FIRST CATHOLIC BOWL GAMES ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY! GO COUGARS!

WHOLE COMMUNITY CATECHESIS: Come one, come all! Whole Community Catechesis is set for this Wednesday night at 6:30, beginning with a CARRY-IN MEAL. NO HOMEWORK will be assigned for this evening, so that ALL FAMILIES may attend. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL ON WEDNESDAY!

RICE BOWLS: Last week you received a Lenten Rice Bowl. The Rice Bowl can be used in the home as a powerful tool in your family’s Lenten journey. Your children will also be watching a DVD about the Rice Bowl and the work that Catholic Relief Services does in their religion classes. For Lent, you may use these tools to:
PRAY – using the daily reflections on the calendar provided in the bowl.
FAST – with the suggested weekly meatless meals, and learn about people around the world.
GIVE – your Lenten sacrifices to your CRS Rice Bowl.
After Easter, you may turn your Rice Bowl in to the school or bring it to church to turn in. Thank you!
