GRATITUDE MEAL FOR VETS & VOLUNTEERS! On Thursday, November 19^th OLOS School will be having our annual Thanksgiving meal, in special honor of our dependable school volunteers & our veterans and active military. While volunteers will get individual invitations, we rely on our families to help spread the word to our military friends. Please encourage them to join us. We do ask for an RSVP by Friday, November 13^th by calling/emailing the school office. We ask that all guests be seated in the gym by 10:50 am.

SCHOOL WEAR ORDERING is open NOW through Nov 15^th. This is a great time to get quarter zips, school dress code shirts and spirit shirts. Orders will arrive by the first week of December. The ordering link is:

CEMETERY LIGHTS: Thanks so very much to all who donated to the lights! We were once again able to cover our costs. Your generosity helps make this a beautiful & noteworthy celebration for our dearly departed loved ones each year.

AND LOOKING AHEAD TO CHRISTMAS…New and gently used items are needed for the Santa Store (scheduled for students to shop Dec. 15^th). Especially needed are men and boy gifts, but all donations are welcome. Each student gets to shop for free for several people, so it takes many, many items to make this day fun for our shoppers! Thanks for your support!

HOME & SCHOOL FUNDRAISING IDEAS: We are in the process of reviewing fundraisers.  If you have a fundraiser you would like to share, please let us know. Here are a few things we would like to know… Profit, turn around time, what’s our cost, do we have to have a minimum order, is there an incentive for kids who sell the most? Please have all this information ready to submit to Mrs. Varner by Thursday, November 5^th for consideration.

AS THE WEATHER COOLS remember that students may only wear solid navy, white or khaki sweaters in the classroom or at church. No sweatshirts or hoodies except on the playground/outside. And please remember… ALL LENGTH REQUIREMENTS still apply on Dress Down Days!

ARCHERY: Archery practice will begin this Wednesday, Nov 4^th, from 4:30-5:30 pm in the old hall. Practices will be every Wednesday from November through March (not including Thanksgiving & Christmas breaks) If your child has shown interest, the sports packet is in your Friday folder for parents to fill out and return by Wednesday. If your child is interested, and you did not get a packet, please contact the office on MONDAY. Remember, your child must have a current physical on file, the athletic packet filled out & the sports fee paid to be able to actively participate in practice.

 Father will be out of the parish November 3^rd – 13^th.

Thank you to Sarah Kirkweg for the caramel apple bar! If you would like to sponsor staff treats, please let Mrs. Varner know.
