enrollment, please call the school office. If you do not plan to send your
child to OLOS School next year, there is a place to note this on the form
enclosed. Please prayerfully consider your child’s enrollment and return your form

NO SCHOOL – MONDAY, MARCH 14TH – DUE TO TEACHER
INSERVICE. Please note – your LUNCH CALENDAR should be adjusted to
the following: move the mini corn dog meal from March 14th to March
15th. We will serve the quesadilla meal in April. On Friday, March
11th, we will serve grilled cheese, potato wedges, fresh veggies
& fruit (the potato soup will be served in April).
FOOD DRIVE: The Student Council is
sponsoring a food drive for the Eldon Food Pantry the week of March 15-18. To
make it fun for the students, for every 5 items they bring in, they will get a
length of tape to tape Mr. V to the wall! So let’s all try to get him up and
out of the way! Each family is asked to send in a roll of duct tape so we can
get the job done!
OLOS SCHOOL will be updating our
SCHOOL WELLNESS POLICY this spring. Anyone interested in helping with this
process, please call the school office. Thank you!
UNIFORMS: Please return all basketball uniforms and practice jerseys. Please
place them in a bag with your child’s name on it, and return to the office.
Thank you!
