one student, you can switch between them on the upper left.
HEALTH CHECKS HELP NEEDED: Health checks will be this Thursday, Sept. 30th, beginning at 8:30 am. Miller Co. is only able to send one nurse over this year, so we could really use two parent helpers to aid in height/weight measurements, and to move students to and from the classrooms. Please contact Rosie or send a note in this folder if you would be able to help. Thank you!
HELIAS TRIP FOR 7TH & 8TH GRADERS – DRIVERS STILL NEEDED! Helias High School has invited our 7/8 graders to tour their facility on Monday, October 18th, beginning at 8:30 am. We are asking for at least two parent drivers for this event. Please let Rosie know if you can drive that day, and your seating capacity.

LIBRARY HELP NEEDED: Mrs. Werdehausen is asking for help in organizing the school library. She is thinking of working either Tuesday or Wednesday evening, after school, and is looking for volunteers. If you would be able to help out, please let her or Rosie know, and also, which late afternoon would work best for you. Thank you!
EMERGENCY DRILLS: We had our first fire drill this week and it went very well. We will continue to practice drills throughout the next months. Especially for the very young students, these drills can bring apprehension. Teachers will discuss these drills with students ahead of time, but please reinforce and reassure your child by talking about drills at home as well.
ART ROOM NEED: Clear plastic water bottles. Please wash and send to school in bags.

STUDENT WRITING! This week's Gr. 6 student thank you note to the OLOS Picnic Committee and the members of the Mary's Home community-
"Thank you to all of those who helped at the Mary's Home
Picnic. Thank you to the ones who worked extra shifts for the people who
couldn't be there because of COVID. The picnic is a big event, and it takes
everyone to make it a success. I appreciate everyone in our community who has
helped through the years to make the Mary's Home Picnic
