VOLUNTEERS & VETS! Thanks so much to all who celebrated with us on Thursday, so many of our great volunteers, supporters, & veterans. Including students, we had approximately 110 eating that day. Many thanks to Cindy & Bryan, who have worked the whole week (plus) to put on this meal – roasting turkey & baking bread. They teased us all week with wonderful smells! We also would like to thank our great 7 & 8th graders & Mr. V. for hosting, our art classes & Ms. Williamson for the great decorations, & Mrs. Marie, Darlene Rush & Donnie Lepper for general help. How could we get along without such great help? We very much appreciate each & every one of you!
CHRISTMAS IS COMING! Today in this folder you will find a flyer that outlines our daily Christmas movie themes, called “A December to Remember”. Your child may dress down if they follow the theme for the day but must adhere to all length/no fray/no holes requirements. Mrs. Varner has tried to make it easy – you can either follow the theme closely with actual outfits, or just in the general color theme, as outlined on the folder. Let’s all show our Christmas spirit!
OLOS CHRISTMAS PROGRAM is Sunday, December 8th, after the 8:00 am Mass. The program
will begin at 9:15 am. In this folder, you will also find a Mass/Program
sign up. Please fill out & return by Tuesday. We will send a list of
student assignments in the next Friday folder. Students are asked to dress
nicely (no jeans) and adhere to dress code lengths. Please have students wear
green, red, or black, if possible. We are asking all families to send in two
dozen homemade cookies on Friday, Dec. 6. H & S & School Advisory
officers will bag them up and hand them out after the program on Sunday. There
will be no reception at the school.
HOME & SCHOOL ELECTIONS: Ballots for new officers are in today’s folder. Each OLOSS family is asked to cast one ballot per household. Please return by Tuesday. Thank you!
SCHOOL-WEAR ORDERING CLOSES TODAY, FRIDAY, NOV. 15TH. Orders should be in no later than December 10th.
EXCITING PLAYGROUND NEWS! The new playground equipment is in for the younger students’ area. This equipment is at no cost to the school and made possible through a grant. The equipment needs to be put together. It includes benches, picnic tables, a dome jungle gym, along with other things. We are looking for someone to take charge & spearhead the assembly part of this project. Please call the school office with your offer to help!
WEEKLY DRESS DOWN PASS WINNER(S)! Congratulations to Colton M. for winning this week’s drawing! Remember – return your folder (with paperwork complete) by Tuesday to be added to the weekly drawing.
Please return your folder on Monday!
Wishing you a lovely fall weekend!
