STATIONS OF THE CROSS/4^TH GRADE PRESENTATION: This upcoming Friday, the 19th, the 4^th graders will be presenting their version of the Passion at the time of Stations, 2:15 on Friday. We are excited to see what they have in store for us!  Remember, all are welcome, and if you can’t be at church in person, join us on Facebook. This will be the last school sponsored Stations for this Lenten season.

 PRESCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS/ HELP SPREAD THE WORD!!!: We will host our annual Preschool and Kindergarten Informational meetings on Tuesday, March 23rd. This year we will be doing it a little differently. If you have a Preschooler or Kindergartner, please call the school office to set up at time. Time slots will be in 15 minute intervals from 5:00 – 7:00 pm, with more slots opening later in the evening, if needed. Along with the classroom meeting, time will be allowed for new families to meet with Mr. Akin. Online registration will be opening within the next few weeks for all grades, so please stay tuned!

 EASTER EGG HUNT: We are asking families to send in one dozen candy-filled egg per child in the family for the Easter egg hunt on Wednesday, March 31^st. All eggs should contain only pre-wrapped candy (i.e. no loose M & Ms, jellybeans, etc.) Eggs may be sent into the classroom beginning Monday, March 22^nd. Thank you!

 SHOW ME SUDZ: We will kick-off this campaign on March 28^th, with materials coming home on Thursday, March 25^th, and run it through April 11^th, with orders/payments to be turned in Monday, April 12^th. The product will be delivered on 18th. Thanks for your support!

 SNOW DAY/GRADUATION UPDATE: Due to recent snow days, OLOS School will be in session through Thursday, May 13, 2021. This will change if we have more snow days, but final school day will be no later than May 14^th. On the last day – tentatively Thursday – we will have Mass at 8:00 am, with Awards & Preschool graduation following in church. All school parents & community members are welcome to attend! After awards, we will enjoy a Field Day, with dismissal at 3:15. 8^TH GRADERS will still have graduation ceremony on Sunday, May 2^nd, but their last day will be on Friday, May 7^th.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY: Wednesday is a dress down in green day, in honor of St. Pat’s. Please remember that we have Mass that morning. Students may ONLY dress down if wearing green.

K/1 PARENTS: Please send in a set of lightweight headphones (not ear buds) for your child. Please enclose in a Ziploc bag.

ATTENTION 7^TH GRADE PARENTS: The 7^th grade families traditionally plan and host the 8^th Grade graduation reception. Graduation has been set for Sunday, May 2^nd, beginning with the 10:00 am Mass. Joan Doerhoff will be main coordinator.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: 8^th Grade Graduation – Sunday, May 2, 10:00 am Mass, with reception following in gym, First Eucharist – Sunday, May 2, 12:00 Noon Mass,

ALL FAMILIES returning their 20-21 Friday folder (The Heavens Declare the Glory of the Lord) by Wednesday, March 17, 2021, with any needed paperwork completed, will be placed in a drawing for a bonus dress down pass for students in their family. Congratulations to Lane & Colton McKenna, for winning the drawing this week. (Since Colton is a preschooler, he received a treat instead of a dress down pass.)

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Remember to set your clocks and Spring Ahead!
