DUE TO THE HIGH RISK OF FLU this year, and in our effort to contain transmission, any student exhibiting signs of the flu, which include, but is not limited to: fever, chills, nonproductive cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle and body aches, headache and fatigue, and in some cases, vomiting & diarrhea, will be sent to the office and parents called for pick up. IF YOUR CHILD EXHIBITS ANY OF THESE SIGNS AT HOME – NO MATTER HOW MILD – PLEASE KEEP THEM HOME AS A PRECAUTION. If your child has the flu, doctors generally recommend that they do not return to school for one week. We are hearing of schools having to shut down completely because of widespread flu, and we are hoping that we will not have to do so. Thank you for helping us keep the flu away!

START SAVING CHANGE! One of the events we have planned for CSW is to set a goal and if it is met we would have Mr. V “KISS THE PIG”! We will be collecting loose change the week PRIOR to CSW (Jan 22-26) and announcing the results of the Kiss the Pig contest on Sunday, at the school luncheon. If the goal is met, we will have a REAL LIVE PIG on the premises that day, so that Mr. V gets the full experience! We are sure the students will have a blast with this, so start rounding up that loose change – no bills accepted! All proceeds will be used to make care packets for our veterans.

OTHER CSW INFO: Along with the activities planned to kick off the week on Sunday, we will be doing the following things: On Monday, for Nation Day, we will have a representative from the U. S. Army here for a presentation at 1:00 pm, along with making care packages, etc. On Tuesday, faculty, staff, & volunteers will be treated to a “Mexican Bar” for lunch on the premises. On Wednesday, Community Day, students will focus on gifting the elderly & shut ins of our community, and also the older students will play cards with the seniors. Thursday, we concentrate on Vocations, and Father Greg will be hosting the students at the rectory for some fun activities. We may also have some other special guests that day to share their vocation with our students. And on Friday, Student Day, we will enjoy bowling at the old hall, movies, and snacks. It should be a very fun week, as we celebrate our faith-filled Catholic school family.

NEXT BOX TOP SUBMISSION will be at the end of February. Please keep saving Box Tops and send them in before that time. We just received $138.40 for our last submission. Thank you for supporting OLOSS!

A note from Father Greg…

Thank you to all the parents and school families for the generous Christmas gift. I appreciate the support and will continue to keep you in my prayers.

K OF C FREE THROW CONTEST: Sunday, January 14^th, at 12:00 noon. Ages 9-14, boys and girls, in the gymnasium.

DEADLINE FOR FRIDAY NOTES: Thursdays, 9:00 am. All non-school related flyers need to be copied ahead of time on paper. The school cannot afford to supply paper for outside events). Upon approval by the principal, the information will then be placed in the Friday folder as a courtesy. It is not appropriate for the school to send out extraneous information that can be handled other ways. Also, if you have items for the Friday notes, please write these items up, send them in, or email them to rosie@radiowire.net (call to let me know you have emailed please). I don’t mind doing a little editing and rewording, but the bulk of the item should be outlined with details.

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL: We do not have a “stock supply” of medications for students. You may choose to send in a pain reliever or other types of medicine for your child. Make sure to clearly mark the container(s), and send a note giving staff permission to dispense the medication, with explicit dosage instructions and dosage cups/spoons. These will be locked up in the office. Sometimes having medicine available here for your child can mean not having to come after him/her or making a special trip to bring medications.

COLLECTION ENVELOPES FOR THURSDAY MASS: Each Thursday, the students have the opportunity to place their offering in the collection. If you need collection envelopes at home, please let us know & some will be sent home. We also have them available in the cafeteria for student use.

Please return your folder on MONDAY.

Have a great COLD winter weekend! BRrrrr
