GRANDPARENTS DAY: On Thursday, September 15th
we will be celebrating Grandparents Day here at OLOSS. All grandparents or
grandparent “subs” are invited to attend Mass at 8:00 am with their
grandchildren, and then come over to the gym for refreshments, bingo, and
fellowship. The book fair will also be open for grandparents to shop with their
grandchildren.
HELP NEEDED: We are asking for two volunteers to help
with serving juice, coffee, and donuts to our special grandparent guests on
September 15th. If you would be able to help out, please contact
Rosie or Mr. V.
THE 15-16 YEARBOOKS ARE IN! If a yearbook was
included as part of your child’s 15-16 package purchase, you should find it in
today’s folder.
PARENTS WELCOMED! You are always encouraged to attend
Mass with the school children on Thursdays, especially if your child’s class is
involved with the ministry.
FANTASY NIGHT is scheduled for October 8th, and
it will be here before you know it! Today in this folder you will find a flyer
to publicize this major fundraiser (more available from office). As a OLOSS
parent, you can expect to be contacted by one of the main ticket holders to see
how many tickets you might be able to sell. With 45 school families and 300
tickets to sell, it averages out to approximately seven per family. Some can do
more, and some can’t sell as many, but every effort should be made to get out
and sell these tickets. The upcoming picnic would be a good time to get with
relatives and make some sales! The “early bird” drawing for $100 or an
additional ticket will be held on September 15th.
BOOK FAIR NIGHT – scheduled for Tuesday,
September 13. Students will be able to shop and participate in fun & games,
and earn Reading Counts point as well! Make plans now to attend this fun-filled
evening!
VISION SCREENING: Miller Co. Health Dept. (they
do our health screenings) has put us in contact with an organization that does
free vision screening for child care centers and parochial schools throughout
the nation, called Saving Sight. Please find enclosed the permission form for
this screening, set for Sept. 16th. This is a non-invasive digital
screening, and is much better at catching vision problems than the traditional
eye chart, as described on the flyer. More information is available at
saving-sight.org/KidSight. Please fill out & return the enclosed permission
form, allowing your child to participate in this screening.
MARCH FOR LIFE IN D.C.! All 7th
& 8th graders and parents are receiving today the information
for the annual March for Life in Washington D.C., scheduled for Jan 25-28,
2017. Traditionally, many of our students & parents have attended the
March. Enclosed please find the “student packet” and the “adult packet”. Seats
fill up on a first come, first served basis, and they fill up quickly so please
fill out and return paperwork quickly if your student is interested, and also
you, if you would like to attend as a chaperone. The minimum cost this year for
all riders is $150. Please contact Nancy Kliethermes for further information.
Packets with payment can be turned into the school office, and will be
forwarded to Nancy & Carol Plank. The local deadline for all paperwork,
fees, and insurance cards is October 1st. If you are an adult
chaperone and have not attended a VIRTUS session, please let Nancy or Carol
know. If several need training the diocese may hold a class here instead of
having to attend in J. C.
CHEER COACH NEEDED: We have several young girls interested in
cheering for the basketball games and they are hoping to find a coach. If you
or anyone you know would be interested in volunteering for this, please contact
the office. All volunteers must have attended VIRTUS training.
