BLESS THE BABY JESUS! OLOSS students

Wednesday, December 19th for blessing. Father Alex will do this blessing
sometime during the Mass that morning. Students who placed an order will receive

the traditional classroom gift-giving will continue. Gifts should be new and of
$5 value. Boys buy for boys and girls buy for girls. Please mark the package “girl”
or “boy”.
CHRISTMAS CAROLING AT CAPITOL: Thanks to the
parents who drove for the field trip on Wednesday. Now that we have been there
and know what is involved, we will be better able to prepare for next year and plan
our participation.

home in the folder on Wednesday. Please try to sell these during your holiday
gatherings.

Ballfield by 4-4:15. Even if you didn’t sign up, and decide you can make it,
please join in. Parental help needed and

ANY DONATIONS OF CANDY FOR THE FLOAT. PLEASE SEND TO OFFICE ANYTIME BEFORE WE
BREAK FOR CHRISTMAS. Thanks to Joan & Allen Doerhoff, who will be in charge
of getting the trailer and getting ready.
CLASS BASKETS: In your holiday shopping for good deals you
may keep in mind the classroom themes for the Italian Feast fundraiser baskets.
Each classroom sponsors a basket, in which is placed items donated by the
parents of the classroom. You may send in an item for the basket or $5 &
let the teacher do the shopping. Each family is responsible for 1 item for the
classrooms they have children in, and also responsible for one other item to
place directly on the auction, either through solicitation or donation. (For
example, Parent A has three children in school. He/she will purchase a gift for
1st grade basket, 3rd grade basket & 7th
grade basket, and also asks their friendly
business owner for a donation or the Parent A can donate an item directly.)
Classroom themes are:
PK – Backyard Fun Basket
K/1 – Game Night Basket (games & snacks)
2 – Gift Card Basket
3/4 – Mizzou Basket
5/6 – A Day at the Spa Basket
7/8 – Camping Basket

Ritter from St. Elizabeth won the Marlin XT – .22 TR. The grand prize winner
