PTO FALL MAJOR FUNDRAISER PRIZE DISTRIBUTION: The Kids Are First products and major prizes
from the PTO Fall Major Fundraiser were distributed after school on Thursday,
October 5. There are several prizes that
were not delivered on that day. If your
child did not receive a prize that he earned, he will get it by next Thursday,
October 12. We thank our families for
all their hard work and apologize for the inconvenience in getting your child’s
prizes to him.
SKATING PARTY:
Want to have a howlin’ good time?
Come join the fun this coming Wednesday, October 11, at OLSH’s first
skating party of the school year. A
flier with the time, directions, and a permission slip (needed only if a parent
is not accompanying his child) is coming home today in your child’s weekly
packet. The event should be a “howlin’
good time”—hope to see you there!
PICTURE DAY:
Lifetouch will be at OLSH for fall pictures this coming Thursday,
October 12. Students may be out of
uniform on this day. (Please refer to
page 25 of the OLSH Parent Student Handbook for appropriate dress
guidelines.) Order forms were sent home
in packets on Friday, September 22. If
you have misplaced your order form, please send your child to the school office
to pick up another one. If you’ve
already sent the order to school, we are holding it in the office and will give
it to your child’s homeroom teacher so that your child can hand it to the
photographer on Thursday. No child will
have an individual picture taken unless he has an order form and payment on
picture day.
We need two parents here on Thursday to facilitate movement
of each homeroom to the Community Room for pictures and to make sure that
collars are straight, hair is neat, etc.
Please call the school office (733-5225) if you can help us out. Lifetouch starts taking pictures at
ROOM PARENT NEEDED: We still need a second room parent for
homeroom 6-O (helping Alison O’Neill) and 7-W (helping Kathy Hackett). Please call the school office to sign up. Thanks to all the parents who already signed
up to do this for their children’s homerooms.
VOLUNTEER/VISITOR SIGN-IN: We have a new sign-in procedure this year for
our visitors and volunteers. When you
arrive, please come to the office and write your name on our Volunteer Sign-in
Sheet, as usual. We also ask that you
fill out a visitor badge to wear while on the property so that others will know
your name. When you leave, we ask that
you return to the office to sign out on our Volunteer Sign-in Sheet. We thank you for helping us keep track of who
is in our school building at all times.
MEET FR. RON:
Bring your calendar to Mass this weekend and sign up to attend a “Meet
and Greet” with Fr. Ron. This is a great
opportunity to get to know our new pastor and fellow parishioners. Call Sheila Sieder (733-9767) if you have
questions or would like more details.
FLIERS FOR DISTRIBUTION: Parents, if you have a flier to go home with
the students, please make sure you make enough copies to include one for the
teachers plus a few extras for the office to keep on file. Please also remember that the office must
approve anything that is to be distributed.
Thanks!
SPIRITWEAR:
A Spiritwear order was delivered to students during the week of
September 25. These items were ones
ordered in May before the end of the 2005-06 school year. Items that were ordered this school year will
(hopefully) be in by the end of this month.
