THANKSGIVING BASKETS: Please remember to send in your donations for
the Student Government Thanksgiving baskets this coming Monday, November
21. Each year, this food collection
benefits local needy families. In
addition to those items requested from each homeroom, we will gratefully accept
donations of pumpkin pies and 12-15-pound turkeys. If you would like to donate
staples (sugar, salt, flour, coffee, tea, cereal, cake mixes, soups, pasta), we
would accept those also. We
appreciate the generosity our school community has shown in the past and hope
to continue this giving tradition. We
thank you in advance for your support of what has historically been a very
successful and generous collection.
PICTURE RETAKES:
Lifetouch will be here on Monday, November 21, for Fall
picture retakes. If your child was here
on October 13 and will have his picture retaken on Monday, please be sure to
send the original picture package with him on that day so that the photographer
can retrieve information from the bar code on the package. Lifetouch will reprint the same package you
ordered originally. If your child was
absent on October 13, he should bring the completed retake order envelope (sent
home last Friday) with payment on Monday.
PAWS FOR PRAISE:
We omitted a student’s name last week when we applauded students for
exemplary behavior. Patrick Bennett should have been included in the list of
students for the month of October. Congratulations,
Patrick.
VOLUNTEER NEEDED:
Would anyone like to do the conference scheduling for next year? One school we heard about had a mom who set
up a spreadsheet on her computer; anyone who wanted a conference called her,
and she filled in the slots. Parents
were given one day between the hours of
POWER OF THE PEN:
The Power of the Pen writing competition is open to all interested
seventh- and eighth-grade students.
Practice sessions will be held on Wednesdays from
CARDS FOR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN: OLSH students spent part of their school day
recently making cards for our servicemen and women. A total of 275 notes full of thanks were
dropped off at
COMPUTER CLASS HAPPENINGS: Perhaps parents who came for conferences last
Thursday and this past Tuesday stopped by the school entrance hallway to talk
with Mrs. Julie Gorsuch, our computer teacher, and see what our fifth and sixth
graders have been doing in Computer class.
Both grades have made Powerpoint presentations (a Math theme in the
fifth grade and Middle Ages theme in the sixth), which
Mrs. Gorsuch was showcasing during conferences.
If parents would like to have their child’s presentation, please email
Mrs.Gorsuch at gorsuch_j@olshschool.net
by December 2; she will forward it to you.
SCRIP CLARIFICATION:
Last week, we sent home information on the new guidelines for
designating Scrip profits. You can
designate your earned profits to be used in several ways: a) toward the tuition of your family or
another OLSH school family; b) toward the parish Educational Grant Fund
(tuition assistance for parish families); or c) toward the General Fund for the
Parish (not toward tuition). We hope
that these options will allow everyone to feel comfortable with where the money
is going. Thanks for your support!
CALENDAR CHANGE:
Spirit Day has been changed from June 1 to May 22.
OLSH SANTA SHOP:
It is that time of year when we once again prepare for OLSH’s Santa
Shop.
SOCCER PLAYERS NEEDED: Any eighth-grade boys who are interested in
