REPORT CARDS/CONFERENCES:
Parents--Please look for your child's report card coming home today. Included in the report
card envelope will be a Parent/Teacher Conference request form. If you would like to request a conference,
please be sure to fill out the form over the weekend and return it to school on Monday, November
1 so that scheduling may be done for conferences on Thursday, November 4
and Friday, November 5. Consult the
request form for further information.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR: You may
win $100 worth of books at the Book Fair!
The OLSH Scholastic Book Fair is coming to school next week, November 1
through November 7; and the students will be visiting the Book Fair in the
library during their library times.
There they will be able to view and buy books. They will also have the option of filling out their own wish list
to bring home for your approval. You
may return this list in an envelope marked "Book Fair" along with a
check made payable to OLSH. We will
fill your order and deliver it to your child's homeroom. Any
student making a purchase will be entered in a drawing for $100 worth of books. Fifteen additional names will be drawn for our
free poster giveaway. Winners will be
notified during school on Thursday, November 4, when they will be able to make
their selections. Teachers will have
"Classroom Wish Lists" posted so that you may donate books to your
child's classroom if you'd like. On
Saturday and Sunday, November 6 and 7, our Book Fair will be open to all
parents, students, and parishioners.
Parents, you are also welcome to come during your child(ren)'s scheduled
time, anytime during the school day (between 8:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.), and during
conferences. Visiting the Book Fair
gives you a great opportunity to look for gifts for your children, friends,
teachers, and even yourself for the holidays or birthdays. All proceeds benefit our school
library.
SCHOOL UNIFORM: Please be advised that
Friday, October 29 was the last day (until April 1) that students are allowed
to wear shorts as part of the school uniform.
Beginning Monday, November 1, all students must wear either long navy
(grades 1-8) or khaki (grades 7 and 8) pants or the school jumper (grades 1-4)
or skirt (grades 5 and 6). Please refer
to pages 23-25 of the Parent-Student Handbook for the complete dress policy.
TEENWORKS: Teenworks will have a
Halloween party for any 7th- or 8th-grade OLSH students
or parishioners on Friday, October 29 from 7 p.m. 'til 10 p.m. in the Activity
Center. You must be in costume and
bring a canned good that will be donated.
Plan to join us for fun, food, and games, and music!
MND MIDNIGHT MADNESS: Come to
Mt. Notre Dame High School on Friday, October 29 from 11 p.m. 'til 12:30 a.m.
for some "midnight madness", when this year's Cougars scrimmage as a

good and get in free! The team is
hoping for a repeat of last year's most successful basketball season!

Savings Time ends officially at 2 a.m. on Sunday, October 31. Please remember to set your clocks BACK one

ELECTIONS 2004: Our students will
participate in online Kids Voting on Monday, November 1. They will have the opportunity to cast their
ballot for: U.S. President, U.S.
Senator, U.S. Representative, State Senator (8th District), State
Representative (28th District), Hamilton County Commissioner, along
with several "Kid Issues".
Total results of all Kids Voting will be posted on the Kids Voting
website (www.kids-voting.org)
at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 2; the results of OLSH Kids Voting will be
emailed to us on Wednesday, November 3.
We were fortunate to have Representative Patricia Clancy visit with our
fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders this past Wednesday, October 27. Representative Clancy, a candidate for State
Senator, spoke to the students about the electoral process and State government. Her parents are OLSH Parish members. OLSH's Community Room will be used as a
voting site on Tuesday, November 2.
Encourage your parents and friends of voting age to go to the polls next
Tuesday, November 2.
EARLY DISMISSAL: We will
have early dismissal (12:55 p.m.) on Thursday, November 4. The following school districts will provide
transportation home on that day: First
Student and Sycamore. Students who
normally ride buses from Indian Hill, Kings, Lakota, Mason, and Princeton will
have to find other transportation home on Thursday, as those school districts
are unable to provide service home at 12:55.
CAMPBELL'S WINNERS FOR SEPTEMBER, 2004: Austin

your Campbell's products with your Kroger shopper card, it's time to collect
your reward certificate. Your
"Congratulations" certificate will be printed at the bottom of your
Kroger receipt. Please tear off the
bottom portion and drop in any of the Campbell's containers.
DISTINGUISHED GRADUATE: During
Catholic Schools Week (January 31 through February 4, 2005), we honor a person
who graduated from OLSH at least ten years ago and who has made a significant
contribution to his/her community or church which reflects favorably on the
education received here at OLSH. A nomination should include the nominee's
name, address, year of graduation from OLSH, additional education, and three
achievements.
Please send in your
nominations no later than Tuesday, November 23 to the school office or the
Parish Center.
MARKET DAY:
Don't forget to order your
holiday pies through our pie-selling contest.
The final turn-in date for contest pie order forms is Monday, November
1. We are hoping to reach our goal of 1
pie per student - 305 pies!! See what a difference 1 pie makes! If we sell 249 pies, we earn $1.75 per pie
profit (249 pies x $1.75 profit = $435.75).
If we sell 250 pies, we earn $2.75 profit per pie (250 pies x $2.75
profit = $687.50). That's $251.75 more profit by selling just 1 more!! If we reach our goal of 305 pies, we will
earn $838.75! Won't you help us reach
that goal?
