invite a “sub” mom in for your child.
CHANGE TO CALENDAR: There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, November 11th due to
faculty/staff benefits meeting at Tipton. Please read enclosed explanation from
our interim superintendent, Ms. Fuemmeler.
HELP NEEDED! We are in need of a
few volunteers to create the framework for the backdrop of our Christmas
musical. It would just be putting some 2 X 4’s together. If you could help out
with construction or lumber, please contact Mrs. Werdehausen as soon as
possible. Thank you!
GHOSTY GRAMS! It’s
not too late! We will be taking ghosty gram orders until October 28th.
They are 50 cents each.

are counting on you to plan activities and refreshments for the Halloween
parties. Thanks so much for your help in making our parties so much fun!
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES: Please – no scary or gory costumes for our Halloween Walk/parties. No ghosts,
devils, witches, zombies, etc. Let’s keep our celebration lighthearted! We do
not want to scare our little people! Students will begin changing for the parade at 1:15. Parents may
arrive @ 1:15 to help.

LIGHTING OF THE CEMETERY THIS WEEK: OLOS students will be participating in the Litany of the Saints
procession & the lighting of the cemetery again this year. The morning of Thursday,
October 31st, the students, staff, & community will gather at 8:45 am to recite
the Litany and place over 1000 lights on the graves. This activity is tied 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”. All are invited to
participate.
