MEET AND GREET!!! Our Lady of the Snows School is excited to host a Meet & Greet event on Monday, March 11, 2024 @ 5:30 pm! All new students, interested families, and current families, are invited to join us for a short gathering at 5:30 and a light meal at 6:00 pm. You will be able to meet your child's teacher, learn about the online admissions process, and get important information about our school. OLOS serves students from preschool age (3 years by Aug. 1, 2024) through eighth grade. Our mission is to provide a quality education and to develop the whole person in a faith-filled Catholic environment. If you have any questions, please call the school office @ 573-498-3574. We look forward to visiting with you that evening!
HOME & SCHOOL: There will be a Home & School Meeting at 6:15 pm, directly following the Meet & Greet, on March 11th. All current families and visitors are invited to stay for this meeting to see what great things are happening in our school!
GYM PAINTING: The gym is currently
undergoing drywall and general wall repair, in anticipation of repainting. We
are planning to paint the gym THIS week, March 12, 13, and 14.
If needed, we will have additional work nights on March 18 and 19. Start
time will be 5:00 pm (or after work). A light meal will be provided.
To increase parent involvement, we are working with Cole R-V High School
students to provide playground/cafeteria (if raining) supervision between the
hours of 5:00 – 7:30 each evening, so children are welcome to come & play! We depend on all families and parishioners to
keep our facilities in good shape. Please plan on joining the “paint party”.
You can log service hours towards the 20 needed for this school year. Thank you!
OLOS SCIENCE FAIR: We are
so very proud of Jacob B. and Shane B., who participated in the Diocesan
Science Fair at Toas last week! There were only three category awards given
out on Friday – physical, earth and life science, with 24 schools represented. Shane
received top honors in the physical science category! The other two winners
were from a very large school. Many thanks to Mrs. Wyrick for all her
expertise and guidance with the projects! The rest of the 5th
through 8th graders are still working hard on getting their projects
finished up. We will have them on display at the VIP Day on April 10th.
SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS NEEDED! If you are interested in serving on our Advisory Council, please let Mrs. Varner know. We have two members whose terms are up so two seats are available.
BASKETBALL UPDATE: Madelyn/St.
Peters girls’ basketball team played in the PALS playoff game last Thursday
night against Trinity Lutheran and after being in the lead most of the game and
fighting hard, they ended up losing 28-19. Alex, Jacob, & Shane/Immanuel
Lutheran boys’ basketball team also played in a playoff game on Tuesday
night against St. Peter, JC, taking a loss. This ended both teams’ seasons. Win
or lose, we are so proud of our COUGAR BASKETBALL PLAYERS!

DRIVERS NEEDED! We would like to send all of our 6th & 7th graders to the Vocations Day on Wednesday, May 1st, at Our Lady of Lourdes in Columbia. Last year, the 6th graders were unable to attend. Please, if you are able to drive, let us know as soon as possible so that we are able to make reservations for our students.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS: We will be going to Stations every Friday until Easter at 2:30 pm. You are welcome to join us in prayer. If you are planning to attend, and wish to check your child out at church, please let us know ahead of time so that your child can bring his/her bookbag along to church.
