FANTASY NIGHT NEWS: Keep on trying to sell those tickets! As of Thursday, we had 140 tickets
turned into the bank as “sold”. That means there are approximately 160 tickets

turned into the office or the bank by WEDNESDAY, Oct. 2nd. Also,
please help spread the word that we will open the doors to begin seating people at 5:30

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 assignments will be in next week’s folder. PLEASE NOTE: If you

SPIRIT WEEK: The week of October

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 one more volunteer 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. It was decided at the H & S meeting that the entry age would be
lowered to 18.
VOLLEYBALL NEWS: The
girls played hard last night but lost both games. Keep trying Lady Cougars! Win
or lose - we are always so proud of you!
PLEASE RETURN YOUR FOLDER ON
MONDAY!
HAVE A GREAT LATE SEPTEMBER WEEKEND!
