GRANDPARENTS’ DAY & BOOK FAIR WEEK ARE HERE! This Wednesday, September 13th, we will host “Grandparents’ Day”! Grandparents are asked to attend the Prayer Service at Church at 8:00 am. Students will meet their grandparents at church. Afterwards, we invite all to come over to the school for an opportunity to visit the classrooms and the Scholastic Book Fair (open until 10:00 am) and enjoy donuts & juice/coffee. Make sure grandma & grandpa know all about it! Of course, if they can’t make it, a grandparent “substitute” can attend instead. We look forward to having them with us here at OLOS School! The donuts are being donated by Gary & Pam Schulte/G & R Electric and we thank them so very much!

CLEARANCE - DRESS CODE/POLO SHIRT FOR SALE (new, from Steph’s Tees, with school logo) - one left - adult Medium navy short sleeve. Contact Rosie if you would like to purchase the last one!
20 HOURS OF SERVICE: 20 hours of service to OLOS School & Parish is required of parents of all school children. Most parents do many more than 20 hours of service here, but the expectation is that you do at least 20 per household. Student service hours are not included in the 20; they have their own goals within the school and classroom. Parent service hours should be logged on your family portal. Once in your portal, on the left side choose “Family”, select the parent’s name at the top middle, click “add” in the righthand corner and log your hours. They will be verified periodically by the school office staff. For tracking purposes, it may be easier to log all service hours performed by either parent under the parent who normally checks the portal. Make sure to log your hours from the picnic last weekend! If you are not able to fulfill this obligation, you may pay the hours out @ $10/hour, for a total of $200,
SUNDAY “ALL SCHOOL” MASSES will be on the first Sunday of each month. Our first one will be on Sunday, November 5th. Mark your calendar now to make plans for your child to participate.
