(until April 1) that students are allowed to wear shorts as part of the school
uniform. Beginning Tuesday, 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), plaid

SCHOLASTIC
BOOK FAIR: The Scholastic Book Fair is right around the
corner! Mark your calendars for the week
of November 14, when students will shop the Book Fair during their regular
library times. Parents are invited to
join them or shop during parent-teacher conferences on Tuesday, November 15
from
CHILDREN'S
CHRISTMAS SHOP: The Children's
Christmas Shop is back by popular demand!
Since the timing to prepare and organize this event is seriously
limited, there is a real need for volunteers to help! The organizing committee will be divided into
four working groups with one person responsible for each area. So far, Alison O'Neill is the coordinator for
the consignment company and Kim Pomeroy will procure donations and early
purchases. Two (as of yet,
unknown/generous) OLSH individuals will coordinate the raffle items as well as
the correspondence portions. Please
contact Kim Pomeroy (733-5513) if your are willing to
step up and head either the raffle or correspondence areas. If you can't lead a group but want to help
support the Shop in one of the four areas, please, please call
Kim. P.S. A huge "thank you" to toe anonymous
donor of the Shrek candy jars. The
students are going to LOVE them!
HOTLINE: Everything went fine (or we haven't
heard!). If you have questions or
concerns, call Heather Von Lehmden (733-3337).
SPIRITWEAR:
GRANDPARENTS'/SPECIAL
PERSONS' DAY: Grandparents and
special persons will be invited to join OLSH students and teachers for a
special morning program on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break (November
22). Please see the flier coming home
with your youngest today.
SCRIP: Christmas is coming! Scrip gift certificates make great gifts, and
we can order them from nearly 500 stores.
Sometimes they become unavailable as we get closer to Christmas, so
order early! They will be sold after all
Masses beginning Saturday/Sunday, November 5/6.
If you have Internet access, you can print a copy of all participating
stores from this website: http://www.glscrip.com. Click on "Retailers", where you
will find an option for a printer-friendly version that you can print
yourself. There is also a list of local
stores from which we can purchase scrip certificates (http://www.appleseed123.com/merchantlist.html). You can now e-mail your scrip order to: orderscrip@fuse.net. It will be ready for you on the next scrip
sale weekend, or we can arrange another delivery method. If you have any questions, please call Sandy
Champlin at 733-5235.
MARKETING
STRATEGIES: You may still submit
an entry for our tagline contest. (As a
reminder, a tagline is a one-line statement or sentence that defines an
organization; i.e., "Values for a Lifetime".) Just jot down your idea on a piece of paper
and send it in to the school office with your child. We would also like to have a few more
personalized letters from a current OLSH parent to a prospective OLSH parent,
the purpose of which would be to advertise the benefits a current student is
receiving and to let prospective parents know what an investment an education
from OLSH can be. These letters should
be typed on a Word document, then saved to a disk (which you can send to the
school office); or e-mail your letter directly to the school office. If you can, please add your signature to your
letter. We will do the rest. We'd really like to have a letter from a
parent at each grade level to help in marketing our well-kept
secret--OLSH! Thank you for your
anticipated help.
BENEFIT
CONCERT: The First United Church of Christ (5808

You are invited to stay for the full three hours or attend any of the
half-hour concerts on that day for a donation at the door. Paul, Leah, and Robert Anderson will be among

Come support a worthy cause!
