FIRST RECONCILIATION: Congratulations to our second graders and our
CCD students who made their First Reconciliation this past Wednesday evening
(despite the cold, snow, and icy conditions!).
A special “thank you” to Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Gorsuch for helping these
children prepare for this important event in their religious lives.
CYCLONES PERFORMANCE: We hope that our fifth graders are in good
voice tonight as they sing our National Anthem before the start of the Cyclones
hockey game. Thank you
to Music instructor Mrs. Cheryl Raine for giving them this experience.
RUN, JUMP, ‘N PLAY: We regret to inform you that we did not have
enough children sign up for our OLSH day (Monday, Presidents’ Day) at Run,
Jump, ‘N Play. We needed 75 students to
sign up in order to get the discounted rate.
Look for your un-cashed check coming home with your child today. Hopefully, we can try for another time.
TALENT SHOW AUDITIONS: Talent Show auditions will be held after
school on Tuesday, February 20, and Thursday, February 22, from
LENT:
Lent will begin with an all-school Mass on Ash Wednesday, February
21. The theme this year is “Following
the Path of Christ”. We have several
activities planned, including: the
construction of a path of stones along the school walls displaying Discipline
with Purpose skills; assignment of prayer partners; Lenten teacher raffle; and
Prayer Service/Bingo Night (Thursday, March 22 at 7 p.m.). Also, we will remember our shut-ins and
include in our prayers our eighth graders who will be confirmed on March 13 at
STRAIGHT ‘A’ STUDENTS: The following junior high students achieved straight A’s on their second quarter report cards and thus were awarded Cincinnati Reds Straight ‘A’ tickets: Paul Anderson, Nate Brunty, Kelly Davidson, Patrick Goddard, Kyle Gordon, Rachel Grein, Kiki Isaac, Luke Kloth, Carly McFarland, Gabe Rapp, Luke Shadley, and Joey Walsh. Congratulations!
POWER OF THE PEN: Fourteen seventh and eighth grade students
from OLSH participated in the first round of the Power of the Pen writing
tournament held last Saturday. We don’t
know yet whether any of them will advance to the Regionals; but we do
know that our boys won the basketball tournament held after the writing
competition while they had “down” time during the scoring session! We’ll let you know how the writing portion of
the tournament went!
DONATION:
Money raised from activities held during Catholic Schools Week was
donated to Matthew:25 Ministries. We presented their representative with a
check for $166.87. Thank you for your
generosity.
TUITION:
Some families did not receive reminders for the second half of the
2006-07 school year tuition, which was due on February 1. If you have questions about the amount you
owe, please call the Parish Office (733-4950).
BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION: Please send in any Boxtops for Education you
may have been collecting, as the final submission date for this school year is
February 28. We ask that you put your
boxtops in a plastic bag and send them in with your child to the school office
so that it is easier for Mrs. Gorsuch to collect them. Thank you.
KROGER CARD UPDATE: You can now use your OLSH Kroger gift card to
pay for gasoline at Kroger fuel pumps!
The credit card option on the pumps now also includes the gift cards. Use them the same as a credit card. (You will still get your 10- or 15-cent
rebate.) There has been some confusion
about what purchases earn money for OLSH when using these gift cards. OLSH is credited as soon as you add money to
the card, regardless of what it’s spent on.
Although the KrogerPlus points are affected by what you purchase (some
items such as cigarettes do not earn points), that is not the case with these
cards. If you do not have a card or
would like more, please stop by the Scrip sale on the second weekend of the
month or contact either Sandy (733-5235) or Lori (984-9313).
