STATIONS OF THE CROSS: Plan to join us during Lent as we pray the
Stations of the Cross. With the help of
our eighth graders, all classes have made large posters of the Stations that
have been placed around the school building.
On Friday, March 10 and March 24, we will begin in church and proceed
around the school hallways to pray the Stations by each homeroom door. On Friday, March 17 and April 7, the Stations
of the Cross will be said in church. On
Friday, March 31, our sixth graders will perform “Shadow Stations” in the

HOOPS FOR HEART UPDATE: As of March 2, the total amount of money
raised for the American Heart Association through their “Hoops for Heart”
Program (which took place here at OLSH during the week of February 13) was
$3367. We appreciate the OLSH school
community’s support of this worthwhile program, which benefits so many!
FAMILY OF GOD MEDAL:
Several OLSH third and fourth grade girls have earned the “Family of
God” medal. The Family of God program is
an official religious recognition program of the U.S. Roman Catholic Church for
girls involved in Girl Scouts USA. Its
purpose is to focus on the presence of God in our lives within the family
setting and within the Catholic Christian community (God’s “family”); it requires
a significant commitment from each participant and takes an average of four
months to complete. The goals of the
program are to help each Girl Scout develop:
an appreciation for each unique individual; an appreciation for the
glory and wonder of all life created by God; an understanding of the family
unit and each individual’s role; an understanding of the parish family and
wonders of God’s world; an ability to contribute to her family, community, and
church; and an understanding of her own blessings and talents and how to share
them with others. One of the projects
these girls and their leaders took on was the weeding and cleaning up of our
courtyard in September and preparing the area for winter in November. Congratulations to third graders Lily Beck,
Caroline Gallo, Elizabeth Stevenson, and Jennifer Sutor and to fourth graders
Colleen Armstrong, Carly Beckstedt, Kristin Sutor, and Ellie Wessinger. Their leaders are Mary Beth Armstrong,
Suzanne Beck, Nancy Sutor, and Theresa Wessinger. The girls will be recognized at the
POWER OF THE PEN:

LENTEN RAFFLES:
For more than ten years, the OLSH school community has raised money
during Lent in memory of Sr. Margie Navarro (the sister of former Auxiliary
Clerk Jan Otten), who devoted almost 20 years of her life to the development of
the Batahola Mission near Managua, Nicaragua.
Our contributions have enabled the people of that area to build homes
and have provided scholarships for area students to complete higher
studies. The mission has grown into a
true oasis in a community which knows great poverty. This Lent, we would like to continue to
donate to the center by having raffles of items donated by teachers and our
eighth graders. Raffle tickets (25 cents
each or five for $1) can be purchased before
PASSPORT NIGHT:
Plan to bring the whole family to Passport Night next Thursday, March 9.
The teachers and your children have worked really hard to ensure that the

unsupervised.
REGISTRATION:
Registration of new students and re-registration of currently enrolled
students (along with the registration fee of $200 per child/$400 per family of
two or more children) are due by Tuesday, March 14. Classes will be arranged according to the

Unregistered and new students will continue to be accepted if space is
