MEETINGS – We had a great turnout for the Italian Feast
& CSW meetings on Wednesday night. Many plans were finalized and lots of
good ideas generated for the celebration of Catholic Schools Week. In this
folder, you will find some general info. for CSW and several sign-ups for both
the Feast and CSW, but by next week, plans will be finalized and you will
receive a full itinerary in the folder.
GUN RAFFLE: The
first drawing will be January 20th. It is not too late to get
tickets!! Contact Josh Vandike, Jay Harms, or Greg Koetting. Mr. V’s
tickets are available at the office.
SIX FLAGS READ TO SUCCEED: Grades K-6, please
return your reading log to the classroom teacher by February 23rd.
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!
MENU CHANGE: We will reverse the menu for Jan 30 & 31.

the opportunity to purchase meals during CSW.

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!
