ITBS TESTING WEEK: Students in Grades 3-8 will be taking achievement tests each morning this week. Though they will enjoy a small snack & drink each morning at school, please make sure they eat a good breakfast & get good sleep.

TRUNK OR TREAT INVITE! Our Lady of the Snows School will once again be hosting our annual "Halloween Walk". Back by popular demand is the Trunk or Treat event that goes along with this. We invite you to "treat" our students on Thursday, October 31st, in the parking lot in front of the brick school building. The students will begin our Halloween Walk at 1:30 pm, so parking/set up is from 1:00 to 1:25 pm. Some participants dress up and/or decorate their trunks & some don't but it's all in good fun. In case of rain, the event will be moved to the gym. Please call or send a note to Rosie in the school office @ 573-498-3574 if you would like to participate. Thank you!
PARKING LOT REPAIR TO CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY! We will continue to do drop off and pick up in front of the original brick school building through Tuesday, due to asphalt repair on all other parking lots. Make a loop - Enter by the church, exit by the bank.
PICTURE RETAKE DAY - Tuesday, October 15th.
STUDENT COUNCIL MEETING RESCHEDULED: The meeting originally scheduled for October 30th has been rescheduled to Tuesday, October 29th until 4:15 pm.
SCHOOL-WEAR ORDERING TO REOPEN! Queen Bee Graphics will open up ordering for one month, running from Oct. 15th through Nov. 15th. This would be a good time to take advantage of ordering for Christmas or if you just need some school shirts, quarter-zips, or spirit shirts. The link will be made available at that time.
FANTASY NIGHT TICKETS: There are approximately 5 tickets left at the bank (as of 10/3). Stop by the bank on Saturday or let us know if you or someone you know is interested in purchasing.
FANTASY NIGHT SILENT AUCTION & SPONSORSHIP LETTERS were sent home recently. All families are asked to solicit a donation(s) in support of this fundraiser, be it one of the 50 items for the Silent Auction, or as a monetary sponsor. If you need more letters, please contact Rosie in the school office. Feel free to share our FB post about sponsorships. Sponsorships MUST be in by 10/8/24 for recognition.
FANTASY NIGHT – SPECIAL HELP NEEDED! If you are familiar with Excel and would like to help in the Silent Auction area with input and totaling items, please let Jena Schwaller or Rosie know.
FANTASY NIGHT/JARS NEEDED: Along with the items listed last week, which we’ve had a great response to, we are also in need of quart Mason jars (canning jars) for centerpieces. They do not need to be new – just nice & clean- and we don’t need lids. We would love new ones, of course, if you would like to purchase some. Please let Rosie know if you would be able to supply a few.
