open the doors to begin seating people at 5:30 pm (it says 6:00 on the flyer & tickets) in order to have everyone
completely seated and ready to begin dinner at 6:30 pm promptly. Refreshments
will only be available after 6:00 pm. Work sign up forms are in today’s folder. Please fill out & return. If you
don’t sign up for a spot, you WILL be called. We have had a few offers of help from within
the parish, but with only 33 school families, we need all of you!

a bonus dress down
pass for each of their school

LOADS OF FUN: OLOS
school would like to thank all who participated in the Loads for Funds and
Pleasant Dreams fundraisers. With 80% of the school families participating, the
school made a profit of $2647! In addition, the school received donations in
the amount of $800, for a grand total of over $3400 towards
the school technology fund. With these funds additional Chromebooks can be
purchased, along with a needed upgrade to our network. This will ensure
security and safety to our school and parish information. The Loads for Funds
and Pleasant Dream products will arrive between 9/27 & 10/5 at the school. Thank you for your continuing
support of OLOSS children.
DRESS CODE: Enclosed you will
find our dress code policy. Inadvertently, part of the dress code information
was omitted from the current year’s handbook. Please review the enclosed
policy.
SPEECH PRACTICES: Wednesday, October 2nd – 3:00 – 4:00 pm, Thursday,
October 10th – 3:00 – 4:00 pm.
PARENTS OF 7TH & 8TH GRADERS: In talking to your 7th & 8th
graders, it is apparent that many of them would love to make the pilgrimage to Washington
D. C, in January for the March for Life.
This is an extraordinary opportunity for our youth to show support for the
pro-life movement and also to gain life skills. However, the parish needs a
chairperson to handle the paperwork and logistics of this trip. Could you be
that person? Could you be the key to sending youth from our parish on this
trip? If you think you could help out, please contact Rosie or Carol Plank. (Two
people could work together.)
SUN BUTTER! OLOS School Lunch program is converting to the use of sun butter
instead of peanut butter on what were PB & J sandwiches. No peanut products
will be served through the lunch program. Sun butter is made from sunflower
seeds. Remember, students may choose a sun butter and jelly sandwich in lieu of
the main entrée if they have a note from home. They must bring a note on the
day that the substitution is desired and must present it to the classroom teacher
first thing in the morning. Please note that the “main entrée” is the protein
item. For example, if our meal is vegetable soup with grilled cheese & string
cheese, the substitution would be for the cheese sandwich & string cheese,
not for the vegetable soup.
HEALTH CHECKS – change of date: The Miller Co. Health nurses will be here on Friday, October 4th for
health screenings. We are in need of at least two volunteers to assist. It should only take the morning. If you are available to
help, please call Rosie in the office.
LOOKING AHEAD: Mark
your calendar for the Shiloh Dance fundraiser,
scheduled for January 18, 2020.
VOLLEYBALL NEWS: The

to St. Peter, JC, but WON their second game against St. George Linn, with three
winning set scores of 25-23, 25-14, & 19-17. Way to go Lady Cougars! Make
plans to attend our HOME GAMES this Thursday night, when the girls will play
TWO games, the first at 7:00 and the second at 8:00 pm. Show your school pride
and come on out and cheer these girls on to victory!
