Only those wearing the official school spirit shirt may dress down. All length
requirements remain in force.
GRANDPARENTS DAY – CHANGE OF DATE: Please note that grandparents day, originally scheduled for Sept.
18th, has been moved to Wednesday, September 11th,
beginning with Mass. We will then move over to the gym for fun &
fellowship. The book fair will be open for purchases, as well. Please let Grandma
& Grandpa know now, so that they may mark their calendar. If grandparents can’t
make it, feel free to ask a “substitute grandparent” to join your child that
morning.
PRINCIPAL HOURS: Please feel free to set up a meeting time if you
need to address concerns or issues. School day hours that the principal is
available (pending no school matters arise) are M,T,Th,F from 8-8:45, and

SPORTS FEE: If you paid your sports fee at the Open House, and you paid in cash, please contact Rosie in the office.

class – grades 4-8. In addition, officers are elected from grades 6-8. Students
need to make their teachers aware on MONDAY if they are interested in running as
a rep. or officer. Officer speech submissions are due by this Tuesday, August

BASKETBALL MEETING – A meeting is scheduled for parents and students 4-8 interested in
basketball, on Monday, Sept. 9th from 6:00 -7:30 pm. Please make
plans to attend.
PROPANE THAT PAYS… This is the time of year when
many people like to fill propane tanks or prepay. If you are or would like to be
a customer of Capital Energy Co, please LET THEM KNOW that you are a member of
OLOS parish (They cannot issue a donation on the customer’s behalf unless the
customer tells them they are a member of the parish.) The parish receives a percentage
for every gallon the customer buys. Last year the parish received funds of
approximately $850. That’s worthwhile! Thank you for your support!
SIGN UP FOR GERBES COMMUNITY REWARDS: 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!!!
OUR SYMPATHY to Sheldon,
Erica & Daxton Boessen (PK) , on the loss of dad (father-in-law, grandpa…),
Jim Boessen. Please pray for their family as they go through this difficult
time.
PLEASE RETURN YOUR FOLDER ON MONDAY!
