ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
CONFIRMATION:
Congratulations to our eighth graders and parish CCD students who were
confirmed last Sunday afternoon.
Teachers who attended were impressed with the inspiration they drew from
the homily by Dean Mark Burger, who confirmed our students.
REGISTRATION:
Don’t forget that Tuesday, March 14, is the final day to register your
children for the 2006-07 school year. Please remember to send in your registration
fee, as your child will not be considered registered without it. After Tuesday, unregistered and new students
will be accepted as space is available.
STAFF CHANGE:
Mrs. Gina Rieman, who has been our Music
Instructor for the past eight years, will be leaving at the end of this school
year. Mrs. Rieman
has been a wonderful teacher and is a gifted musician who so obviously enjoys
sharing her love of music with children.
Mrs. Rieman made music fun, and the sounds
that came out of her classroom were happy and spirited. We hope your children profited from the
diversity of musical ideas that she introduced to OLSH students during these
past eight years. We will certainly miss
Gina’s work with our students and her presence. We wish her the best.
SAFETY ISSUE:
Please stay in the line of traffic dropping students off in the
morning. We have noticed several parents
driving around the cars that are lined up along the sidewalk dropping off
children. Some of our children exit
their cars on the right side and could dart into the path of a car trying to
rush through this drop-off procedure.
Please consider our children’s safety!
ST. PATRICK’S DAY DANCE: Don’t miss the St. Patrick’s Dance this
Saturday evening (March 11) from

THANKS!: Many thanks to all the parents, teachers,
relatives, parishioners, friends, and neighbors who participated in February’s
Market Research Study to benefit OLSH PTO.
We earned $570—that makes $1158 earned this school year from
surveys!! Those who participated know
this was a quick, easy, and enjoyable way to earn money; so please keep that in
mind the next time around! Special
thanks to those who helped make it happen:
Mrs. Creighton, Mr. Moeggenberg, Mr. Mueller,
Barb Widmann, Cyndy Eagan,
Tracy Engel, Kim Pomeroy, Pam Kennedy, and our babysitters (Christina Vuotto, Craig Gorsuch, Amanda
Eagan, Sarah Bohlen, Katie Bohlen,
and Paige Fisher).
TAKE CHARGE OF EDUCATION: This month (March), our school received a
check in the amount of $299.10, which is a donation by Target stores of 1% of
purchases by parents and staff who signed up for this program. You can designate OLSH to receive more
donations by doing one of the following:
visiting Target.com/tcoe; stopping by the
kiosk in your favorite Target store; or calling 1-800-316-6142. Coupled with the check we received in
