ADDITIONAL STAFF CHANGES: Because
of budget cuts, we will lose two dedicated and hardworking staff members at
the end of this school year. Mrs.
Mary Jo Eggenberger, all-school teachers' aide and substitute teacher and
Mrs. Jeanne Schoeny, head librarian, former office secretary, and long-time
volunteer will not return to OLSH next year.
We will certainly miss these two outstanding women, not only for the
amount of work they do but also because of their willing dispositions and
first-class character. We wish them
success in the next step in their lives.
There will be no other planned changes made in programs for the 2005-06
school year.
THANK YOU: Mrs. O'Brien wishes to thank
all of those involved in performing as well as producing the Drama Club play
(which was presented April 28). Many
thanks also from Mrs. O'Brien for the generous Scrip gift certificate!
THANK YOU: Thank you to Sheila Sieder
and Laura Benson for their help on Thursday, May 5 during the Kindergarten
Visit. Laura had Spiritwear out for new
parents to view, and she and Sheila were both on hand to answer any questions
they could. It was a good way for
parents to wait for their children while sharing some information, enjoying
refreshments, and meeting each other.
Thank you also to Heather
VonLehmden and the moms who helped her with the Mother's Day Flower Sale on
Friday. We hope all moms enjoyed their
beautiful blooms and had a wonderful Mother's Day.
ORIENTATION MEETING: Mrs.
Adelmann and Mrs. O'Brien will meet with parents of all new incoming students
(all grades) on Tuesday evening, May 17, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room. They will be available to answer any
questions these new parents may have.
In addition, Mike Hunter of Educational Outfitters will be on hand with
samples of our navy and plaid skorts and other school apparel for parents to
view.
YOUNG REMBRANDTS ART PROGRAM: Next
Wednesday and Thursday will be the final days of the spring session of the
Young Rembrandts Art Program. We plan
to have this program return next fall and will advise you of that via the
Principal's Bulletin after the start of next school year.
FINE ARTS DAY: Please join us on Thursday,
May 19 for Fine Arts Day. Mrs. Rieman
has been working with the students on a musical concert with a country
theme. You are invited to attend the
concert and then move on over to the school building to view students' artwork
in the hallways. Students may be out of
uniform on Thursday for Fine Arts Day.
Acceptable clothing includes:
long or capri jeans (no jean shorts or jean skirts); long or short
overalls; shirts with sleeves (either solid or plaid button-down or solid
t-shirts or a t-shirt with an appropriate design). No tanks or tummy-revealing shirts may be
worn. If you feel your child will be
too warm in long jeans or overalls, please send him to school in his uniform
shorts. Miscellaneous items that may be
worn include cowboy hats, straw hats, cowboy boots, bandanas, vests, and
suspenders. No guns of any kind are
permitted (squirt, cowboy, etc.).
GRADE 5 PLAY: We congratulate the fifth
grade on their successful production of "Once Upon A Parable" last
Tuesday, May 10. This biblical play
will be repeated for the enjoyment of our students at 9:15 a.m. on Friday, May
20. If you missed the first
presentation or would like to see it again, please join us on Friday.
FRISCH MARIONETTES: Plan to
join us as these marionettes present The
Jungle Book in the Activity Center at 1 p.m. on Friday, May 20. Students from Ss. Peter and Paul School will
also be here for this production. All
are welcome!
SPRING PORTRAITS: If you
did not return your child's school portraits or send in payment for the ones
you are keeping, please do so NO LATER THAN Monday, May 16. (You might want to check your child's
backpack just in case he forgot to turn pictures/money in to his teacher.) There is a reminder flyer coming home today
with your child--please disregard it if you have already returned your pictures
or sent in your money. Lifetouch will
stop by OLSH one day next week for their final pickup of money and returned
portraits.
FROM THE LIBRARY: This week
was the last week students could check books out of the school library for the
year. All books should be returned and
all fines must be paid on your child's regular library day next week, May
16-20. Please send in the replacement
cost for any lost books. Thank you.
LIBRARY VOLUNTEERS: If you
have any library books checked out, please remember to bring them with you when
you come to work at the library. Many
"thanks" to all of you who helped in the library this year. We couldn't do it without you!
YEARBOOK: Eighth-grade students/parents--please return
the eighth grade questionnaire to the school office if you have not already
done so. This information will be
included in the 2004-05 yearbook. The
yearbook committee is also looking for photos from the May Crowning ceremony. Please send these to Alison O'Neill c/o
Ellen in 4-T. If you would like to
order a yearbook, please look for the order form coming home today with your
child. These orders are due in to the
school office by next Friday, May 20, (not March 24, as indicated on the order form).
SPIRITWEAR: Please look for Spiritwear
order forms coming home today. All
orders and money are due by next Friday, May 20. Make your check payable to OLSH YAC and send orders to the office
marked "Spiritwear". Parents,
please check to see what items your child will need to begin the school year
next August. If items are needed, your order must be placed now. All orders will be placed over the summer,
and delivery will be made to your child's homeroom sometime during the first
week of school. If you have any
questions, please call Laura Benson at 984-6984.

with questions.
SUMMER TUTORING: Would your child benefit
from summer tutoring? Whether to master
concepts not fully understood during the school year or to maintain skills for
the next school year, tutoring can be valuable time spent. My name is Mary Jo Eggenberger. As you may know, I have been a teacher's
aide/substitute teacher at OLSH for several years. If you are interested in tutoring for your child (those entering
grades 1-6), please feel free to call me at home (563-2079) after 3 p.m. or
leave a message for me at the school office.
I will be happy to return your call.
OLSH SUMMER FESTIVAL: Thank you
for your generosity so far in collections received for the Grocery Booth. If your child brought in at least two items
