The Hotline was tested this past Wednesday morning. We received no negative feedback about missed
calls. Please call the school office if
you have anything to report.
SCHOOL DIRECTORIES: We hope you are all happy to have received
your 2006-07 school directories. A big thank you to Heather Von Lehmden, Lisa Schoenberger, and Gina
Vonderhaar for their work on this project.
SERVICE PROJECTS: Please check your youngest child’s weekly
folder for several upcoming service projects…
ProKids: We have chosen this agency as the recipient
of our school-wide Advent service project. ProKids has a real need for gift
items for teenagers who live in foster care.
The flier coming home today lists recommendations for donations and
dates they will be gratefully accepted.
THANKSGIVING
We thank you in advance for your generosity in helping us
with both these projects.
MARKET DAY:
November is Market Day Pie Month.
We will have two pie-related “activities” coming up. One of these is “Pennies for Pies”. We are having a penny collection (although
other forms of currency are acceptable, too!) to see how many pies we, as a
school, can purchase to donate for our Student Government Thanksgiving Food
Drive (see article above). You may send
in your donation with your child; there will be a container at the school
entrance beginning Monday, October 30, where your child may drop in any
donations. We will collect “pennies”
until Wednesday, November 8.
We are also conducting a pie-selling contest. For details, please see pie order forms
coming home with every student today.
The winning classroom will enjoy a pie and ice cream party on Tuesday,
November 21. Questions? Call Lisa Schoenberger (733-4707) or Valerie
Grein (891-5830). Thanks for your
continued support!
BOOK FAIR:
Fall Book Fair is just around the corner! Mark your calendars for the week of November
12. Students will shop the Book Fair
during their regular library times.
Parents are invited to join them or shop after Masses on Saturday and
Sunday, November 11/12, November 18/19, and during conference times on
Wednesday, November 15. Proceeds from
this Book Fair will be used to purchase teacher-requested books for classrooms
and to purchase A.R. tests for books we currently have in the library.
GRANDPARENTS/SPECIAL PERSONS DAY: Save the date of Tuesday, November 21, for
our Grandparents/Special Persons Day.
Look for details and invitations to come home next Friday, November 3.

Believe it or not, the holiday season is fast approaching; and we are
beginning to prepare for OLSH’s Santa Shop.
YEARBOOK:
We still need a volunteer to organize the first grade page in the
2006-07 yearbook.
This requires a minimum time commitment and can be done mainly from home
