A DECEMBER TO REMEMBER DAILY DRESS DOWN MOVIE THEMES: 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 flyer or in “The Week Ahead”, as listed above.
OLOS CHRISTMAS PROGRAM is THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8th, after the 8:00 am All
School Mass. The program will begin at 9:15 am. The list of student
ministry assignments is once again in today’s folder. For Mass, students
are asked to dress nicely (no jeans) and adhere to dress code lengths. Please
have students wear green, red, or black, if possible. Students may sit with
their parents at Mass, and then should change into costume and should find
their teacher NO LATER THAN 9:05 am. The school basement (in brick building)
will be open after Mass for 10 minutes to allow for students (any grade) to get
changed, if needed. Please use the lower back door.
SANTA STORE: Our annual Santa
Store will be available for our students to shop on Tuesday, December 17th
during their special class time. Name tag packets & a flyer
explaining the day are in today’s folder. We are still asking for donations
of gifts for family members & friends. We are also asking for donations
of bags, tape, and tissue paper. We thank our “Santa’s Elves” –
those who have volunteered to help with wrapping and shopping that day - Lue
Ann Hogg, Bev Koetting, Diann Brenneke, Debbie Groose, Crystal Hoover, Cindy McKenna
& Darlene Rush.
PIZZA PARTY! The students, staff & Father Simon enjoyed their lunch tremendously on Wednesday! Deacon Chet treated all of us to pizza from The Mary’s Home Corner Market. He says he so enjoys the cards and gifts he receives from the students that he wanted to find a way to show them how much he appreciates it. He purchased 24 pizzas, so we all had our fill and then some! Thanks so much Deacon Chet!

ARCHERY PRACTICE: We currently have three students interested in Archery. After conferring with parents of these students, they have tentatively decided to set practices on Wednesdays after the new year gets going. Students participating must have a physical on file, pay the $25 sports fee, and fill out a sports packet. If your child is still interested (5th on up), please let the office know this week so that everything will be in order when practices begin.
