child may have brought home their Reading Counts shirt (by reaching 75 points
in the RC program). Your child may wear this shirt any day in lieu of the
regular dress code shirt. The T-shirt does not have to be tucked in. If your
child has not yet earned their T-shirt, please encourage them to KEEP READING!!
Many thanks to Tammy Love, for doing
such a fantastic job on these shirts!

5 flat screen computer monitors in good working condition for computer lab, no
size restrictions. Contact Mr. V if you would like to donate.
HOME & SCHOOL MEETING: Thanks to all
who came to the Home & School meeting last night. Many items were
discussed, including Scrip, Santa Store, Fantasy Night, Italian Feast, Shiloh
Dance, M. H. Parade Float, & Catholic Schools Week & election of
officers. All attending will receive a dress down pass for their child (cannot
be used on Mass days). New officers are: President – Melissa Koetting,

these ladies for being willing to bring their talents to OLOSS.
PATRIOTIC ROSARY: God bless the Veterans of the
United States of America for serving our country and for protecting our
freedom! We had several here this morning for the rosary and for refreshments
afterwards. Thank you for your service!
BASKETBALL & VOLLEYBALL team photos will be
taken this Wednesday, November 16th, along with FALL RETAKES and club photos. Remember, if you are not satisfied with your
child’s fall portrait, please leave packet intact, and include a note as to
what you would like done differently, and return to the office as soon as
possible, but BEFORE NOV. 16TH. Students having retakes may dress
for pictures but then change into dress code after their picture is taken.
BASKETBALL PLAYERS will try on their jerseys and
shorts, Rosie will take them all home to be washed, and they will be ready for
picture day. Students need only to remember to bring sports shoes, socks, and
any undershirts they may want. Volleyball
uniforms are in the office. Girls remember to bring your shorts, shoes,
etc.
CHRISTMAS PARADE FLOAT: The Mary’s Home
Christmas Parade is scheduled for Saturday, December 17th, after the
5:00 pm Mass. At the H & S meeting last night, Jay Harms (Emily-K,
Titus-PK) volunteered to get a trailer ready for a float, featuring a living
nativity. If your child would be able to ride the float, participating in the
living Nativity, please fill out the enclosed form. Also – we will need
donations of candy to throw. Please send to school office. Thank you for your
support!
CHRISTMAS GIFTS: This year, students will be
exchanging gifts within the classroom. Girls should buy for girls and boys buy
for boys – with the value of the gift being $5. They will exchange their gifts
at the Christmas party on Wed., Dec. 21st. We will also have a
special visitor that morning around 9:00 am!
MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Italian Feast – Feb. 4, 2017. Silent Auction items will once again be needed. Watch holiday sales
for things that would make good auction items – as each family is expected to
donate towards the auction. THERE WILL
BE AN ITALIAN FEAST MEETING THIS
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH AT 6:30 IN THE COMPUTER LAB. COME ONE! COME
ALL!
SCRIP: We are putting in SCRIP orders for physical gift cards this weekend
between Sunday Masses and also selling hard gift cards we have on hand. We also
have many gift cards on hand in the Parish Office (Shoe Carnival, Ulta, Target,
Pizza Hut, Subway, Longhorn Steakhouse/Red Lobster, Goodrich Theatres,
Schulte’s, CNC, etc.). SCRIP cards are a great way to earn money for the
Parish and you lose nothing by purchasing a gift card from the SCRIP program; a
$25 gift card to Wal-Mart will only cost you $25.00 and the parish still gets a
percentage back! SCRIP order forms are in the Friday folder. We will be
submitting orders for physical gift cards firs thing in the morning on Monday,
November 14, 2016. You can contact Brittany Goetz at 573-291-8246
with questions.
SPIRIT WEEK: The week of November 21st we will
celebrate Spirt Week, to kick off the basketball season here at OLOS. Monday
will be “Mixed Up Monday”, when your child may wear their clothes backwards,
unmatched, etc. Tuesday will be “School Pride Day”, when your child must wear
blue & gold to dress down (players may wear their uniforms), and for
Wednesday each class picked their own theme for the ½ day. Please keep the
spirit of the dress down days, by not allowing your child to wear anything
questionable. If in doubt, don’t let them wear it! Classroom themes for
Wednesday are:
PK – Pajama Day (no slippers, wear sneakers
please)
K – Pajama Day (no slippers, wear sneakers
please)
1/2 – Pajama Day (no slippers, wear sneakers
please)
3/4 – Sports Day

elves” – wrapping presents & helping students shop. Please let Rosie know
if you can help out. Thanks to Christina Eickhoff for volunteering to head this
up. Please begin sending in any items you may have accumulated/purchased for
the Santa Store in December. Especially needed are men and boy gifts. Also

HATS & GLOVES & SCARVES! The OLOS
Student Council is sponsoring a drive for these items up until November 18th
