GRANDPARENTS DAY: This Thursday, Sept. 14th, we will celebrate Grandparent’s Day at OLOS. Make sure to invite your grandparents! If grandma or grandpa can’t make it, feel free to come yourself or ask a “substitute grandparent” to enjoy the morning with your child. We will celebrate Mass at 8:00 am (students may sit with grandparents at Mass), then enjoy bingo, refreshments, and fellowship. The book fair will be open for grandparents to shop with their grandchild, if they so wish. The morning festivities should end around 10 – 10:30 am.

BOOK FAIR NIGHT: The annual Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, September 12th. From 6:00 to 7:30 pm, students will be able to shop and participate in fun and games and earn bonus reading counts points. Make plans now to attend this fun-filled evening! A flyer outlining workers for this event may be found in today’s folder. CONCESSIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE!

DRESS DOWN DAYS: THIS MONDAY – PATRIOT DAY, WILL BE A DRESS DOWN IN RED/WHITE & BLUE OR CAMO DAY (this was not on your school calendar). We are also adding a SCHOOL SPIRIT DAY on Wednesday, September 27th.

FANTASY NIGHT: One of the main ticket holders will be contacting each of you to see how many tickets you can sell. If you haven’t already heard from them, you soon will. Remember, the price has increased to $110 per ticket. Please get out and sell as many as possible. With only 39 school families this year we have to all kick in and do more. The EARLY BIRD drawing will be Tuesday, Sept. 12, the night of the book fair. The winner will get the $110 or get another ticket.  Main ticket holders are: Mark Adrian, Monica Bittle, Ashley Groose, Ashley Kempker, Melissa Koetting, Shannon Lage, Mary’s Home Bank, and the school office.

SCHOOL PORTRAIT DAY: Tuesday, October 10th – 8:00 am. We are in need of ONE volunteer to help with pictures that day. Please contact Rosie if you are able to help out.

WELCOME NEW BABY! Gus (1st grade) & Vivian (PK) are proud brother and sister to new little brother, Gabriel Gene, born Tuesday, Sept. 5th. Gabriel weighed 9 lbs. 12 oz. and was 22 ¾ inches long! We congratulate and pray for this family of five which includes proud parents, Jeana & Derrick Pringer.  God bless!

VOLLEYBALL NEWS: The JV Girls put up a good fight last night against the St. Martin’s team, winning one set of three, and coming very close on the last set. Scores were: 19-25 (loss), 25-12 (win), & 17-25 (loss) for an overall loss. Keep trying hard, girls; you’re off to a good start!
