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.

 

YEARBOOK:  Last call for yearbook photos!  If you have any photos for the yearbook, please send them to Alison O'Neill through the school office no later than Wednesday, June 1.  The yearbook committee will meet the following evening (Thursday, June 2 at 7 p.m. in the lower level of the Parish Center) to paste up the yearbook pages, so no photos will be accepted after June 1.
