DAY—NO SCHOOL
EARLY DISMISSALS:
We have two early dismissals coming up.
On Thursday, June 1 (Spirit Day), students will be dismissed at
PAWS
(PAUSE) FOR PRAISE: The following seventh graders
have been nominated for a “Paws for Praise” award: Ben Staley, nominated by Mrs. Wendy Schworer for being chivalrous; and Nick Pryse,
Luke Shadley, and Ben Staley, nominated by Mrs. Cindy
Creighton for being helpful with her stage props. In addition, eighth grade teachers Mrs.
Creighton and Mrs. Schworer do not want to see the following
eighth graders who often show good Christian behavior in their daily lives
leave OLSH without being recognized for that:
Sarah Bohlen, Tim Koppenhafer,
Eric Leeker, Nathanial
Martin, Jake McCabe, Colleen McDonough, Matt Mulderig,
Meggie O’Brien, Mindy
O’Brien, Zach Radcliff, and Zach
Sand from 8-C; and Drew Fladung, Josh Fouchey, Eric Hanneken, Jessica
James, Chris Kalthoff, Keith Kennedy, Jeff Marksberry, Alex Moorman, and Libby Prickel
from 8-S. Congratulation to all of these
students—we hope you will continue to be shining examples of the type of
behavior you know is right!
MATH
KUDOS: We have a large number of eighth graders who
have tested into the higher levels of Math for their freshman year at their
chosen high schools. We feel that this
is a reflection not only of these students’ abilities but also of the quality
of the Math curriculum and teachers here at OLSH. Congratulations, hardworking students and
OLSH Math teachers!
SPIRIT
DAY: Spirit Day 2006 is Thursday, June 1. You will receive two items pertaining to
Spirit Day in your child’s weekly folder coming home today—a Spirit Day
volunteer form and a Spirit Day lunch order envelope. Regarding the lunch
envelopes: each child must turn in his
own envelope; we prefer cash in the correct amount in each envelope, but you
may write one check (made out to OLSH) for all your children and put it in one
of their envelopes. Just be sure
to stick a note about the check in the other children’s envelopes so that we
know their lunches have been paid for.
Eighth graders—we welcome you back for Spirit Day, especially if you
wish to volunteer! If returning eighth
graders would like to order a lunch, send in to the school office an envelope
with your order and money. Please
indicate number of slices and kind of pizza (cheese or pepperoni at $1 a slice)
and drink (Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, or bottled water at 50 cents each). Be sure to include your name on your
envelope.
END-OF-YEAR
SURVEY: Starting Monday, May 22, teachers will have
on their class web pages a survey which you may complete. I, too, will have a survey on the Principal’s
Page (which is under “School Info”).
There will be instructions on how to complete and submit these
surveys. These will take the place of
the survey sent home at the end of the 2004-05 school year
and will be available for parent completion for only one month, after which
time they will be deactivated. We thank
you in advance for your input. –Mrs.
Adelmann
BIRTHDAY TREATS/REWARDS/HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS: The news has been filled recently with
articles regarding children’s health/weight issues. Every school that participates in a federally
funded lunch program must write and implement a “Wellness Policy”. Suggestions for the Wellness Policy that I
must write for OLSH consist of looking at our other school-based activities and
how we use food for rewards, birthday treats, and holiday celebrations. I plan to write our policy encouraging the
use of non-food items for rewards, non-food and non-beverage items for birthday
treats, and healthy food items for holiday celebrations. If you have a concern about this and would
like to give some input, please email me at adelmannb@olshschool.net. Thank you.
“BUSY AS BEES” SUMMER PROGRAM: Mrs. Rohlfs and
Mrs. Baker will again hold their very popular summer readology
program, “Busy As Bees”. This is a program to help your child get
excited about reading. There are two
three-day sessions: “Bee a Chef”, which
runs from July 11 through July 13; and “Bee a Toymaker”,
which runs from July 18 through July 20.
Parents of students currently in grades one through three should look
for a flyer/registration form in their child’s weekly folder today. The program is also open to students
currently in kindergarten. We hope to
see you there!
SUMMER TUTORING:
Mrs. Mary Jo Eggenberger, former teacher’s
aide here at OLSH and current long-term sub for Mrs. Jody Pelzel,
is offering summer tutoring for students entering grades 1 through 6. If you think your child would benefit from
Mrs. Eggenberger’s help, please call her at home
after
FESTIVAL NEWS:
Continue to send in items for the OLSH Summer Festival Grocery Booth and
Basket Booth. All items can be sent in
to school. Make sure your child’s name
and homeroom are on all items brought in for the Basket Booth so he/she may be
entered into a drawing. Call Lisa McCabe
(Grocery Booth chairperson) at 755-0893 or Sue Kettler
(Basket Booth chairperson) at 769-4583.
2006-07 CALENDAR:
An abbreviated calendar for the 2006-07 school year is being sent home
today with your youngest. A more
detailed calendar will be included in family packets that will be available for
two weekends in August prior to the start of the new school year.
FALL SPORTS SIGNUPS:
This is the final weekend to sign up for OLSH YAC fall sports (boys’
football, girls’ basketball, girls’ cheerleading, and OLSH/SPPS SAY
soccer). Signups will be held after all
Masses this Saturday, May 20, and Sunday, May 21, in the Tiger Room of the

possible!
MEDICATIONS AT SCHOOL: Please arrange to come in to pick up any
medications your child may have at school.
