MEETINGS THIS WEEK: Please come to the Reading Counts meeting

Counts. Students work hard to earn the 200 points required for the end of year activities,
and they will be inspired to work harder when they know what they are working
for! ALL SCHOOL PARENTS should plan to attend the Home & School
meeting on Tuesday night, as well. It will begin at 6:30 pm.
Find out what’s happening at our great little school, find your child’s Christmas
program costume, and earn a bonus dress down pass for your child as well!

GERBES COMMUNITY REWARDS: OLOSS received this quarter’s disbursement of community funding - $66.13.
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!!!
2020 ALL SCHOOL RAFFLE: New prizes featured for those who do not hunt. Tickets are now available
for sale for $50 each. Two winning tickets are drawn each month, for a total of

many people like to fill propane tanks or prepay. If you are or would like to be
