STUDENT DAY: THIS MONDAY! We will celebrate
our final (delayed!) day of CSW 2018 – Student Day – on Monday, March 19th.
We will be bowling and enjoying movies and fun activities throughout the day. This
will be a dress down day. We will have Mass for the Feast of St. Joseph at 8:00
am. The school children will not have Mass on Thursday.
READING COUNTS ends Tuesday, April 24th.
Your child must have reached 200 points by this date in order to attend the R.
C. trip. The date for the trip is tentatively set for Tuesday, May 8th.
In addition to the trip, your child receives one entrance into the class
drawing for a gift card for every 25 points over 200 that they earn.
IMPROMPTU DRILLS: OLOSS will be having several
emergency drills throughout the next weeks. If your child mentions them (or
even if they don’t), you may take the opportunity to discuss the subject. We
have tornado, fire, earthquake, and intruder/lockdown drills.
EASTER EGG HUNT: We will have our annual Easter
Egg Hunt on Wednesday, March 28th. Each child in grades PK – 6th
should bring in one dozen candy-filled eggs to the classroom, marked with your child’s name. Please
wait until Monday, March 26 before sending those in. The 7th & 8th
graders will be hiding the eggs for the classes, so you may remember them with some
treats as well. Candy that doesn’t melt easily is best. We also have students
with peanut allergies, so we ask that no peanut product be sent. Thanks so
much!
BABY CHICKS! In the days following Easter, the 2nd,
3rd, and 4th graders will have incubators in their
classrooms, to witness first-hand, the hatching of baby chicks. This programs
is offered to our classrooms each year through the Miller County Extension
Office, and is a big hit with the students!
EMAIL CHANGE: Rosie’s email has been changed
to olosschoolsecretary@gmail.com.,
effective immediately.
PHOTOGRAPHER NEEDED: Traditionally, the
8th graders take a day out in April for picture taking. We are
looking for a parent or someone willing to take the pictures. Please let Mrs.
Pleus or Rosie know if you would be willing to help out, along with some dates
that will work for your schedule. Thanks!
