HAPPENINGS AT OLSH: As we begin
planning for next year, there are some changes that will occur. We want to inform you of these changes. As you are aware, we currently have one second
grade. This will continue into the
third grade. Next year's second grade
will again be two classes (due to the current first-grade enrollment).
The first grade for next year will be one class, as only 24 students
have registered to date. The parish can no longer afford the luxury
of two classes for this small number of students. Changes in staffing have not yet been finalized, but Mrs. Robinson
has decided to stay at home. We ask
for your patience and prayers for a successful school year.
SPRING PICTURES: All students will be
photographed on Thursday, April 14. You
will not receive an order form prior to picture day--you will receive your
child's processed portrait package in a few weeks and can decide at that time
if you wish to buy it or return it to Lifetouch through school. Students
may be out of uniform for these spring portraits. We need two parent volunteers to help out on picture
day. Please call the school office if
you are available (and willing) to help on Thursday from 7:45 a.m. 'til around
1 p.m.
YOUNG REMBRANDTS: The spring
session of the Young Rembrandts Art Program will begin next Wednesday, April
13. If there is enough response, we may
have a second session on Thursdays,
beginning on April 14.
Participants will hear from the director of the program (Carolyn
Sendelbach) as to how many sessions there will be. Please note that these are all new classes, not a repeat
of the winter session completed before Easter.
MELODRAMA: The Drama Club's production
scheduled for next Thursday, April 14, is on hold due to Mrs. O'Brien's dad's
health issues. We will send information
home next week under separate cover about when the production will take place.
HIGH SCHOOL DECISIONS: Parents of
current eighth graders--please call the office or send a note in with your
child advising us about your choice of high school for your eighth grader. We would appreciate this information as soon
as possible. Thank you.
MARKET DAY: The winner of the
spiral-sliced ham given away by Market Day prior to Easter was Cindy Vail, aunt
of Molly and Chris Ernstes. This ham
was valued at $38; we appreciate Cindy's support of Market Day and hope that
her family enjoyed the ham. Also,
please mark your calendars for our summer sales: June 8, July 13 and August 17.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR: The
Scholastic Book Fair is coming next week (beginning Monday, April 11); and this
year you can shop for your books online, too!
This season, we are offering another way for you to add to your child's
home, classroom, or school library. You
can shop online from a popular selection of books anytime from now until April
24. You may order individual titles and
collections for your home or donate the books you purchase to your child's
classroom or school library. Simply
access www.scholastic.com/shopbookfairs
and type in our special Book Fair code (2031626) at checkout. All orders placed online will be processed
at the end of our Online Fair and shipped FREE to our school in about ten
days. See the flyer coming home with
your youngest child today for more information.
ONE LUCKY STUDENT WILL WIN $100 IN
FREE BOOKS
AT THE SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR!!
Any student making a
purchase will be entered in a drawing for $100 worth of free books. Fifteen additional names will be drawn for
our free poster giveaway. The winner of
the $100 Free Book Prize will be announced on Friday, April 15 at 2 p.m. We will arrange a time for the winner to
choose his books after one of the weekend Masses. Winners of the posters will be notified on Tuesday morning, April
19 and will make their selections then.
On Saturday and Sunday, April 16 and 17, after all Masses, 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 library time or anytime during the school day. All proceeds benefit our school library.
VISIT WITH AUTHOR: OLSH's
second and third graders will visit with author Ron Roy on Wednesday, April 27
at the Sharonville Library, where he will be signing books. Ron Roy is the author of A Thousand Pails of Water and is now writing some very popular mysteries for each
letter of the alphabet, The A to Z Mysteries. We hope to have a supply of Mr. Roy's books
available at our Scholastic Book Fair next week if your child would like to
purchase one to take with him on his field trip to get signed by this author.
READING CLEAN-UP DAY: Again
this year, the City of Reading will be sponsoring "Reading Litter Clean-Up
Day." Our 2005 event will be
coordinated as part of the "Keep Cincinnati Beautiful/Great American
Clean-Up" happening throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. Reading Litter Clean-Up Day is planned for
Saturday, April 23. Volunteers should
report to Koenig Park (at the corner of Columbia and Koenig Avenue) at 10 a.m.,
where plastic bags and rubber gloves will be distributed. We will need adults to work with children. Filled bags can be left on curbs, where city
workers will pick them up. All
volunteers should return to Koenig Park around noon for a picnic lunch and for
the many prizes to be given away as a "thank you" for their
help. Please contact Carol Bullock-Carpenter
at 733-4857 to let her know if you will be participating in this event.
