SPAGHETTI
DINNER: A big "thank you" from Julie Curry
to all who made last Sunday's Spaghetti Dinner a success. Our profits exceeded $1100! There was a shortage of help and baked goods
going in to the dinner; but thanks to you volunteers who gave more time and
baked more desserts, the shortage was covered.
Thank you to Bob Moeggenberg for his help and to Shari Torbeck, who
donated her portion of the Split-the-Pot winnings back
to PTO! A special "thank you"
to the following students who stayed after school last Friday to help set
up: Patrick Bennett, Nick, Evan, and
Lauren Curry, Will Flavin, Keith Kennedy, Andrew, Matt, and Andrew Pryse, and
Luke Shadley. We also want to recognize
the following students for their help at the dinner: Paul Anderson, Nick, Evan, and Lauren Curry,
Jessica Eades, Paige Fisher, Patrick Goddard, Olivia and Christian Kettler,
Kirsten Lucas, Chelsea Mehbod, Danny and Sam Miller, Katie Rieman, Kelly
Schoenberger, and Leighton Vaske. Thanks
also to Mrs. Peter and her daughter, Ashley, for making the wonderful Spaghetti
Dinner signs for the
HIGH SCHOOL
VISITS: Several area parochial high schools will
visit our eighth graders next week.
These visits precede these schools' Open Houses and Entrance Tests
scheduled for November and December.
Your eighth-grade student will bring home literature after each school's
visit containing dates and times for these upcoming events.
PARENT
MARKETING LETTER: I am adding an
element to our prospective student inquiry.
A number of steps will be followed, and one of these steps would be a
personalized letter from a current parent to a prospective parent; ideally, the
current parent would have a student on the same grade level as the prospective
parent's student. The purpose of the
letter is to reinforce the benefits a current student is receiving and to let
prospective parents know that OLSH is really worth the investment! All that you as a parent would have to do is
send a disk with your letter on it or email your letter to the school office,
where we will save it to a disk. We can
then fill in names and send the letter on school letterhead. If you have a way of adding your signature to
the letter, that would be ideal; otherwise, we will add your signature. Please type your letter in a Word
document. I would really like to have a
letter from a parent at all grade levels.
Thank you for helping us with this new marketing phase.
MARKET DAY: November is Market Day Pie Month. We will have two pie-related
"activities" coming up. One of
these is "Pennies for Pies".
We are having a penny collection (other forms of currency are
acceptable, too!) to see how many pies we, as a school, can purchase to donate
for our Student Government Thanksgiving Food Drive. You may send in your donation with your
child; there will be a container at the school entrance beginning Monday,
October 24, where your child may drop in any donations. We are also conducting a pie-selling
contest. For details, please see pie
order forms coming home with every student today. The winning classroom will enjoy a pie and
ice cream party on Tuesday, November 22. Questions? Call Lisa Schoenberger (733-4707) or Valerie
Grein (891-5830. Thanks for your
continued support!
