CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK:  We hope your children enjoyed Catholic Schools Week.  We know we all did.  Thanks to Mrs. Angela Guye and Mrs. Wendy Schworer for all their creative work in heading up the CSW committee and to all the teachers for their support and special activities done in their individual classrooms.  It was truly a celebration of all that is good in Catholic schools!

 

THANK YOU:  A huge “thank you” to Gina Vonderhaar and her “crew” of moms who set up, served, and cleaned up a delicious luncheon for teachers and staff last Tuesday (January 31) during Catholic Schools Week.  It was beautifully presented, graciously served, and much appreciated by all who were lucky enough to attend.   We thank you all.

 

PAWS (PAUSE) FOR PRAISE:  Recognition goes out to the following students for their exemplary Christian behavior recently—to Nate Wilkens (1-O) for his excellent help without being asked at Open House on February 5; to Elizabeth Guye (5-S) for her cheerful cooperation and helpfulness; to Chase Craven (8-S) for his kindness and patience with his first grade buddy; and to Nate Winhusen (8-S) for being extra respectful.  A special recognition to the young man who held the door for Mrs. Radcliff on Thursday, February 9—you know who you are even if we don’t.  We appreciate your good attitudes!

 

MEDS REMINDER:  Parents, we’d like to remind you not to send medication to school with your child.  You must have on file a “Request for the Administration of Medication” form for both prescription and over-the-counter medicines, and all meds are held in the school office.  A teacher recently found some cold medication on the floor of her classroom—this could be dangerous in the wrong hands.  Please call the school office if you need one of these forms.  Thank you.

 

POWER OF THE PEN:  Selected seventh and eighth graders from OLSH will participate in a day-long writing competition to be held this Saturday, February 11, at Little Miami Junior High.  Students were selected to participate in this district competition based on the quality of writings done in Mrs. Creighton’s English class; winners at this level will advance to the regional contest to be held on April 8 at Sycamore Junior High.  Good luck to seventh graders Patrick Bennett, Holly Gruber, Molly Hildebrandt, Kiki Isaac, Nick Kallenberg, and Andi Zaferes; and eighth graders Jonathan Brandstetter, Craig Gorsuch, Missy Gottschlich, Ashley Hollingsworth, Hannah Vogt, and Christina Vuotto.  We’ll keep you posted on their success.

 

READING HIGH SCHOOL VISIT:  Ronda Eisenhard, Reading Jr.-Sr. High School Counselor, will be at OLSH on Tuesday, February 14, at 11:30 a.m. (during lunch/recess) to speak to eighth graders interested in attending Reading High School next year.

 

TOGETHER TUESDAY:  OLSH second graders will celebrate “Together Tuesday” on February 14 from 6:30 p.m. ‘til 8 p.m.   They will join OLSH second grade CCD students as they prepare to receive the sacrament of First Reconciliation on Wednesday, February 16.

 

PASSPORT NIGHT:  Get ready to travel around the world during OLSH’s “Passport Night” to be held on Thursday, March 9.  Please check your child’s weekly envelope today for more information.

 

LIBRARY:  Parents--if you have an outstanding book review, please return it to the library.  If you are unable to complete the review for any reason, please return the book so that it may be reassigned.  Any questions can be referred to Alison O’Neill at 769-4853.

 

CAMPBELL’S SOUP WINNERS:  The out-of-uniform pass winners for January are:  Dakota Handorf (1-O), Kaitlyn Fryman (2-R), Amy Blum (2-P), Alex Smeal (3-P), Caleb VonLehmden (4-T), Libby Hildebrandt (5-S), Zach Frey (6-G), and Daniel Gates (6-O).  Thanks for participating!

 

EIGHTH GRADE VIDEO REMINDER:  Pictures need to be sent in c/o Jonathan Brandstetter (8-C) by this Monday, February 13.  (Pictures needed are:  baby, current, First Communion, and five others.  Any other group pictures are welcome.)  Any questions can be referred to Monica Brandstetter at 769-1538.

 

CHEERLEADERS:  Seventh and eighth grade girls who participated in cheerleading this past season may turn in their skirts to the school office.  Coach Kari Elsbrock will stop in on Wednesday, February 15, to pick all of them up.
