sub-mom. All activities should wind up no later than 10:00 am, and probably
before that.

the job of Box Top submission from Gina Adrian! Thanks to everyone who clips
Box Tops and sends them in. The school receives ten cents for every Box Top

VOLLEYBALL NEWS: Good luck to the girls,
playing their final regular season game tonight, at St. Stanislaus at 7:00 pm
against The Kings Academy. And wishing more good luck to them as they
participate in the Catholic Bowl this weekend. Their first game is Saturday at
11:00 am against St. Martin, at Helias. They invite all to come on into town to
root for them. If they win they will play again at 5:00 that evening. We are
looking for some good games girls and we know, win or lose, you will represent
OLOS School well!

these for group pictures, scheduled for November 28th.
SANTA STORE: We have scheduled the Santa Store for
Tuesday, December 5th. Please send in any gift items or gift bags
that you may want to donate. We always need more dad and boy gifts. We will
also need volunteers to help with bagging, wrapping, and shopping. Thanks for
your help in making this a very fun activity for our students!
LIGHTS AT THE CEMETERY! In observance of
All Saints Day, the students will be placing approximately 600 LED candles on
the tombstones of our deceased (weather permitting). It is an old German custom
to place candles on the graves, to be lighted on All Saints eve and left
burning through the night. People call them “lights of the holy souls”
(Seelenlichter). So, as you are out trick or treating, notice the cemetery.
Weather permitting, you should be able to see quite a sight! Funds for this
project were donated, and we will update you next week with more information.
