mid-term report and students’ reports in Grades 3-8 are to be viewed online at www.optionc.com, with our school code – 8085
– and your individual username and password. If you have not already done so, please
sign & return the report/form on Monday. As always, if you have any
questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the classroom teacher.
DADS TAKE NOTE! Mark your calendar now for the morning of
October 17th, when we will gather for Mass, enjoy “donuts with dad”,
and have some fun! (If dad can’t make it, grandpa or any other special person
may join your child.)
VOLLEYBALL NEWS: Last week, our JV team played
St. Joseph, JC. They lost all three sets, with scores of 11-25, 14-25, &
17-25. As far as this week’s games, the girls won one set of three on each of
the matches against Kings Academy & St. Peter, Fulton. Good effort Lady
Cougars and keep on playing hard! We are proud of you!
COMMUNITY TEA: Thanks so much to all the 7th
& 8th graders and their parents who sent all the delicious food
and supplies for the breakfast Monday morning. Though only a few joined us from
the community, the whole school was able to enjoy a small breakfast as well.
What a great service project for our older students!
FIRE STATION VISITS/OCT. 11: This year, we
are pleased to tell you that parents will not have to fill out field trip forms
for our students to cross the street. The fire department will be bringing
their equipment to US! Along with equipment, they will be bringing their new
safety trailer.
HEALTH SCREENINGS: If there were any concerns
pertaining to your child’s screening last week, you will find notice in today’s
folder.

All acts of kindness “bees” are displayed in the school cafeteria. (Note – the
first student listed in each grade is kindness noted by the classroom teacher.
If any additional are listed, they have been noted by other members of the
staff.) Great job, students!
CEMETERY LIGHTS: Like last year, the school
children will be placing the lights (tea lights) on all the stone markers in
the cemetery on the eve of All Saints (Halloween), to stay lit through All
Souls. This goes back to a tradition originating in Germany where people lit
candles and placed them on the graves of their loved ones, letting them burn
throughout the night before All Saints, representing the “light of the holy
souls”. We do this entirely through donated funds. This is a great way to honor
those you love who have passed away. Any donation is needed and appreciated.
You may send your donation to school in an envelope marked “Cemetery Lights”,
or place in the Sunday collection. Thanks for any help you can give to this
project. (Last year, if you saw this on the night of Halloween, you know what a
spectacular sight it was. We received many positive comments from the
community!)
GERBES:
OLOS is enrolled in the Gerbes “Community Rewards” program. This program
offers money back to our school, based on enrolled customer’s spending. It is a
really easy process. You just tie your Gerbes shopper’s card to our school
account. If you don’t have a Gerbes shopper’s card, it takes less than a minute
to get one at the store and also online. All the information needed to complete
this process is online. @ www.gerbes.com/communityrewards.
Our school code is 48253. It takes
just a couple minutes so get all your family and friends to register as well!
The school will receive quarterly payments in cash form. We will update you as
we receive those funds. This has the potential to be a huge moneymaker for the
school – the key is to get many, many people involved. Please pass the word to
family and friends and thanks for supporting OLOS School
