AFTER EASTER PLANS: We will have our annual Easter Egg Hunt on Tuesday, April 19^th, after we come back from Easter Break. If you have not already done so, please send in ONE DOZEN filled eggs on Tuesday to your child’s classroom? Please no chocolate that would melt or candy with any kind of nuts. Also, please remember our 7^th & 8^th graders with a treat. They will be hiding all the eggs, so we want to make sure to treat them!

ENROLLMENT: Instructions for online re-enrollment and new student enrollment were sent home in a previous folder, along with next year’s school calendar, supply lists, and school spirit wear, hoodie, and dress code shirt order forms. If you would like to have your shirt/hoodie orders ready for pick up at Open House on August 13, 2022, please send in your order to office before the end of the school year, along with payment to Steph’s Tees. If you have any questions or technical difficulties with enrollment, please contact Rosie in the office. Early enrollment deadline is May 1^st – which include final submission of the online enrollment packet and the upfront payment of $100 towards registration fees. Please see packet for more information.

SUDS FUNDRAISING: Our Lady of the Snows is in the middle of its Show Me Suds laundry soap fundraiser, which will run until April 19 (the day we come back from Easter break), with product delivery on either April 27 or 28. Order forms were sent home in last week’s folder. This is the perfect opportunity to purchase laundry soap, dishwashing pods, dishwashing soap, and fabric softener to save everyone money and benefit OLOS at the same time. All proceeds will go towards our parish technology needs. Contact Joan Doerhoff or the School Office for additional information. Thank you for your continued support of OLOS!

TALENT SHOW/FIELD DAY: On Wednesday, May 11^th, we will be having a Talent Show sponsored by Mr. Jannetti in the morning, and a Field Day event mainly in the afternoon. Please be talking to your kids about what they might like to do for the talent show, as we want ALL students involved! Also, please contact Amy Hagenhoff if you would like to help plan the Field Day event. We are asking for parent volunteers for that day as well, so please let Rosie or Amy know if you would be able to help that day. We will have Mass at 8:00 am, Talent Show at 9:00 am, and begin some of the field day activities around 10:00 am or so. We will be grilling hot dogs for a picnic lunch. Sounds like so much fun!
