CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK 2021: Please see the reverse and/or insert for a FINAL break-down of the events for the week. We are excited to share this most important week, recalling our dedication and ministry to the Catholic faith, with our students, families, and community! Together, we can, and will indeed, provide a faith-filled future for our children.
THE STUDENT COUNCIL is selling Sippy/Candy Grams for Valentine’s Day at $1 each. Sippy Gram forms were sent home last week If you need more, let Mrs. Groose or the office know. Thank you for your support!
FANTASY NIGHT – The Virtual Fantasy Night will be held on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2020 at 6:00 pm. $50 tickets are now available through the school or at Mary’s Home Bank. The “Early Bird” drawing for $50 cash or an additional ticket will be this Saturday, Jan. 30th. Please help spread the word and sell as many tickets as you can! We have approximately 150 sold.
SHOW ME SUDZ: Mrs. Doerhoff has found a new distributor for the laundry detergent/soaps fundraiser, named Show Me Sudz, LLC. They can provide most of the same product as we previously sold, with minor changes. We will kick-off this campaign on March 28th, with materials coming home on Thursday, March 25th, and run it through April 11th, with orders/payments to be turned in Monday, April 12th. The product will be delivered one week later. Last time we did this fundraiser, we did have minor problems with getting product. Please reassure all that this is a different company than we used last time, and we feel confident that we will have a successful fundraiser. Thanks for your support!
GERBES COMMUNITY REWARDS: We recently received $31.07 for last quarter earnings. Thanks to all who name OLOS as recipients of their community rewards. You can help…here’s how…
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 great moneymaker for the school
– the key is to get many, many people involved. No selling needed! Please
pass the word to family and friends and thanks for supporting OLOS School!!!
ATTENTION 7TH GRADE PARENTS: It’s hard to believe, but every year about this time, we put out a call to our 7th grade parents to start thinking about the planning for 8th grade graduation. The 7th grade families traditionally plan and host the reception. Graduation has been set for Sunday, May 2nd, beginning with the 10:00 am Mass. Contact Rosie in the office for more information.
