MAGAZINE DRIVE (PTO FALL MAJOR FUNDRAISER): We brought in $3000 on Thursday, September 7
(our first turn-in day) in magazine and Kids Are First product sales. This is a good start. If you need more order forms, just send a
note in to the school office or have your child request a form from the
office. Great job of having your
student’s name, homeroom, and dollar amount sold on the outside of the
envelope. This way, we were able to hand
your children their prizes quickly on Thursday before school started. Please follow this same procedure for the
next two turn-in days. Here are some
dates to mark on your calendar:
September 11 and 14: Turn-in
dates for fundraising sales; September 25-29:
Out-of-uniform week if you sell $100 as an individual or $150 as a
family; September 27: Limo lunch for
qualifying seventh and eighth graders; September 28: Money Wheel, Cheese Derby, Money Machine, and
Kick for Kash prizes awarded; and October 5: Kids Are First products and end-of-sale
prizes distributed. PLEASE NOTE: If ordering magazines from the Kids Are First
catalog, please follow the ordering instructions on page 28 of the
booklet. Any
questions? Call Pam Kennedy at
984-4597 or email her at pendres@cinci.rr.com.
HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE EXAM PREP CLASS: If you would still like to sign up your
eighth grader for the prep classes for these Entrance
Exams, please send in your registration form with payment on Monday, September
11. Registration for these classes will
close at the end of that day.
ARCHDIOCESE WRITING TEST: We just received the comparison of the
results of OLSH’s 2005-06 writing scores with those

GRADE 3 GRADE 5 GRADE 8
OLSH: 6.0 OLSH: 5.8
OLSH: 6.1
Archdiocese: 5.4 Archdiocese: 5.4
Archdiocese: 5.6
Scoring is on an 8-point scale. Students need a 5 or better to pass. A score of 6 is considered solidly
proficient. Great job, students and
teachers!
EMERGENCY DRILLS: We will conduct several emergency drills one
day during the week of September 18.
These drills are: tornado,
evacuation, and Shelter in Place. The
last two we are required to do once a year.
Tornado drills are done periodically during tornado season. (Fire drills are conducted once a month.)
VOLUNTEERS: We must follow Archdiocese regulations
regarding volunteers. All volunteers
MUST be fingerprinted and MUST have viewed the Child Protection Decree
video. Dan Hackett will facilitate the
Child Protection Decree sessions at
MEET FR. RON: Over the course of the next few months, the
parish would like to organize a series of small, casual gatherings to become
better acquainted with Fr. Ron. We are
in the early planning stages and are currently looking for volunteers who are
willing to host a small reception in their homes. If you are interested in being a host, please
call Sheila Sieder at 733-9767.
YAC WINTER SPORTS SIGNUPS: Winter sports registrations for girls’
volleyball (grades 3 through 8) and boys’ basketball (grades 3 through high

MARKET DAY: Our first Market Day sale of this school year
will be on September 20. If you signed
up at one of the Meet the Teacher nights to volunteer for Market Day,
information will be coming to you via email by Friday, September 15.
We are always in need of student volunteers
in grades 6-8 and will once again be offering an incentive. This year, we will be offering a different
prize each month (i.e., $5 restaurant gift cards, $5 Blockbuster gift cards,
etc.). Your child’s name will be entered
into this drawing based on his efforts in volunteering (no goofing off, running
through hall, etc.). This month’s prize
will be a $5 gift card to McDonald’s.
Your child must remain in the cafeteria during this time (
Congratulations to the Boothe,
