RIGHT-TO-READ WEEK: Next week we celebrate the simple pleasure
and value of reading. Check with your
child to find out what activities are planned in his classroom. Perhaps your family could turn off the TV one
night and devote the evening to reading or discussion of something you have
read during the day.
POWER OF THE PEN: We forgot to list two members of the OLSH
Power of the Pen team. Eighth grader Michael Gallo and seventh grader Jeremy Staley,
although alternates, were very much active participants, giving up their
Saturday to attend the competition and volunteering to be runners for the
judges. We apologize for leaving
them off the original list.
CANCELED FIELD TRIP: We had an all-school field trip scheduled for
this past Tuesday, February 27. Our
students were going to Ss. Peter and
KINDERGARTEN AT OLSH: Enough interest has been shown to pursue
starting a Kindergarten program at OLSH, and we are very pleased to announce
that we will have Kindergarten here for the 2007-08 school year! We have received approval of the School
Commission and the Finance Committee.
Registration for 20 students is anticipated. It will be a full day with the same hours as
our other grades. Bus transportation
will, of course, be available as for our other students. I have asked Mrs. Nikki Cromer, who is the
current Kindergarten teacher at Ss. Peter and
CALENDAR FOR 2007-08: The new school year calendar will be
available by April. We are going to go
with trimesters (3 grading periods) instead of quarters (4 grading periods). Schools in our cluster that have been on
trimesters for a few years have given very positive feedback. Conferences will be held after first
interims, which will give students an opportunity to improve their grades
before receiving their first report card.
The second trimester will go until the end of February, giving students
more grading time (since the holidays fall in this second trimester). We certainly will evaluate this system at the
end of the school year.
