OLSH FESTIVAL MAJOR AWARD RAFFLE RESULTS: Thanks to everyone who participated in
selling tickets for the OLSH Summer Festival Major Award. Together we raised almost $2900! That’s about half of the Major Award! One hundred
eleven students sold enough tickets ($20 per student/$50 per family) to earn
and enjoy an out-of-uniform day THIS MONDAY, MAY 21. Mrs. Baker’s top-selling second grade homeroom
will enjoy a pizza party on Tuesday, May 22.
Mrs. Pelzel’s first grade and Mrs. Tebbe’s fourth
grade homerooms will cool off with a Popsicle party (date to be announced)
because each homeroom sold at least $300 worth of tickets. Thank you for supporting your festival!
KINDERGARTEN VISIT: Parents—if you have a current kindergartner
who will be in first grade at OLSH for the 2007-2008 school year, remember that
this coming Wednesday is his/her day to visit our current first grade and Mrs.
Pelzel. This is an informal one-half
hour visit that we hope will help acclimate your child
to first grade here at OLSH. While your
child is visiting, join other parents in the Community Room to view Spiritwear
and uniform exchange items and to get to know each other.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES:
Every child in grades one through seven is bringing home today an order form
for pre-packaged school supplies. WE

certainly buy your child’s school supplies on your own.)

SUMMER WORK FOR STUDENTS: This is a reminder that students currently in
grades 2 through 7 have the OPTION of purchasing a Summer Bridge Activity Book
to review work done in the grade just completed as well as to preview work that
will be covered in the next grade. (Mrs.
Baker will be sending home with current first graders a packet of work which
she will use at the beginning of the new school year.) Any student who returns all his summer work
will have his name entered into a drawing for a prize. We encourage you to keep your children
mentally active to maintain and enhance scholastic skills while away from
school over the summer!
GIRL SCOUT AWARD: Junior Girl Scout Troop 390 received the
Bronze Award, the highest recognition a Junior Girl Scout can earn, in a
ceremony on Thursday, May 17, at OLSH Church.
Reading Mayor Bo Bemmes presented Leah Anderson, Paige Brown, Molly
Ernstes, Grace Kallenberg, Ellen O’Neill, and Ashley Peter with their award pin
and certificate. In addition, Mayor
Bemmes proclaimed May 17, 2007, “Junior Girl Scout Troop 390 Day”. In order to earn this award, the girls had to
complete requirements for two badges related to the project, spend numerous
hours developing their leadership skills, and complete one of the Girl Scout
Signs. The fourth requirement is a
community service project. Our troop
worked together to create a variety show based on the theme of friendship. The girls chose the music, choreographed their
own dance, and showcased their individual talents. The girls took this show “on the road” to the
retired nuns at Mt. Notre Dame, the Ronald McDonald House at Children’s
Hospital, and to Grace Kallenberg’s grandfather’s nursing home. Congratulations, Girl Scout Troop 390!
