FISHING DAY WAS A SUCCESS! We were blessed to be able to have our students get this opportunity before the rain moved in on Tuesday! Thanks so much to Donnie & Cindy Lepper for hosting our students at their beautiful lake and to Darryl Love for all the prep. work on the fishing rods & reels. Of course, we are always thankful for our great helpers and drivers. It takes everyone to make these days work out! Look for fun photos on Facebook.
THREE SCHOOL FAMILIES! We just want to take this opportunity to recognize the fact that three of our graduates are the last students in their families to attend OLOS. We will miss having the Charlie & Missy Beck family, the Kevin & Missy Evers family & the Fred & Wendy Whittle family with us as well and appreciate your years of commitment & service to the school.
FEES/BILLS/GRADE CARDS: Final grade cards will be released to families who have all fees paid in full by Wednesday, May 1st. Final reminders are in today’s folder. Please remember, if you are using extended care into next week and are not on the daily schedule, add these fees to your final payments. ($3 drop in mornings, $7 drop in afternoons).
20 HOURS OF SERVICE: All unfulfilled service hours accrue a fee of $10 per hour unserved. You will find notice in today’s folder if you have unserved or undocumented hours remaining.
FIELD DAY: All volunteers please meet in the lunchroom at 7:45. At that time, you will receive further instructions and all equipment needed for the day. If you signed up or let us know you could help, we are counting on you for the times you indicated. We are looking forward to a very fun day on Tuesday!
LAST CALL! Yearbooks for the 23-24 school year will be available in August and must be pre-ordered. If you would like to order and have not already done so, please send in $22.50 per book in a marked envelope to the school office (checks payable to OLOS).
ICE CREAM TO SUPPORT OUR $6000 GOAL TO HELP BUILD A SCHOOL IN UGANDA! During this last week of school, students will continue to have the opportunity near the end of each school day to purchase a frozen treat for $1. Please send in money if you have not done so already. Thanks to those who sent in extra money and to those who gave us money who don’t even have children in school! You are awesome!
VOCATIONS DAY: 6th & 7th graders will all be attending Vocations Day on Wednesday, May 1st, at Our Lady of Lourdes in Columbia. Thanks so much to Amber Schulte & Roselyn Wood for volunteering to drive our students. Lunch is provided onsite for this event. Each student will receive a T-shirt.
