& KINDERGARTEN INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS - HELP SPREAD THE WORD!!!: We will host our annual Preschool and Kindergarten
Informational meetings on Tuesday, March 30th (was scheduled
for March 23). 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 days 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 31st. All eggs should contain only pre-wrapped candy (i.e. no loose M & Ms, jellybeans, etc.) Eggs may be sent into the classroom anytime now. The 7/8 Graders will be hiding the eggs for the kiddos, so if you have extra treats, please remember them! Thank you!
SHOW ME SUDZ: We are sending home flyer/form today. We know this is a few days earlier than previously announced, but this will allow a little more time to sell. Please everyone try to sell at least a few items. If you refer to last weekend’s bulletin (insert enclosed in today’s folder), you will see that our parish shows a major income shortfall; at this time in the fiscal year it is $21,000 below our budgeted level You will also see that fundraisers helped to meet earlier shortfalls. This fundraiser will run through April 11th, with orders/payments to be turned in Monday, April 12th. Please collect payment at time of order, with checks payable to OLOS. The product will be delivered on 18th. Thanks for your support!
