PAWS (PAUSE) FOR PRAISE: Third grader Keith Chachoff
has been nominated for a “Paws for Praise” award for taking care of an injured
first grader on Thursday during recess.
Eighth grader Ben Staley and sixth grader Erik Spraul
have been nominated by their teachers as well for demonstrating Christian
behavior above and beyond what would be expected. Congratulations and thank you to Keith, Ben,
and Erik.
BULLYING PROGRAM: We were fortunate to have had Mr. Jim Bisenius with us last Monday, September 18, to present his
“Bully-Proofing Today’s Youth” program to all our students here at OLSH. He also held a special presentation after
school for our faculty members. We have
handouts available to any parents who would be interested in reading a portion
of the message Mr. Bisenius brought to OSLH. Just call the school office (733-5225) to
have a copy sent home with your child.
EMERGENCY DRILLS: We held tornado, fire, evacuation, and
Shelter in Place drills this past Tuesday, September 19. All went very smoothly. Students listened well to all directions, and
we feel confident that our plans are very appropriate and provide a high level
of safety.
SHADOWING DAYS:
We encourage eighth graders who plan to shadow area high schools to do
so on a day when OLSH is not in session.
Since we do not have school on Friday, October 13, Friday, November 10,
or on Monday, March 12, these would be excellent days for your eighth grader to
visit a high school. There would be no
interruption in teaching and no schoolwork for your child to try to make up.
FAR AND WIDE:
It is interesting to note that we have students at OLSH who come from 12
different school districts: Cincinnati
Public, Deer Park, Indian Hill, Kings, Lakota, Little Miami, Lockland,
Loveland, Mason, Princeton, Reading, and Sycamore. Most of these districts provide bus
transportation for our students. It’s
great to have families from so many different areas of Cincinnati choose OLSH
for the education of their children!
WITH GRATITUDE:
An OLSH parent has supplied us over the past several years with scrap
paper and cardboard from her place of work—materials that would normally be
thrown away. It is always amazing to see
how resourceful, imaginative, and thrifty our teachers can be! Materials like these are snatched up and put
to great use. We thank all parents who
donate “scrap” to OLSH. We are certainly
grateful that you think of us.
OLSH PTO FALL MAJOR FUNDRAISER: We collected $30,000!!! Awesome job!
Magazines comprised 70% of the sales and Kids Are First products
30%. The top-selling homeroom and,
therefore, winner of the “Bragging Rights” trophy was 5-E. Way to go!
I have posted lists in the classroom for the students who earned
out-of-uniform, Awards Day (as noted below), and End-of-Sale prizes. I may have overlooked someone, so please
contact me if your child tells you that he is not on the list and you feel he
qualified for one of the awards.
Out-of-uniform week is Monday, September 25, through Friday, September
29, for any student who sold $100 ($150 for the entire family to qualify). The Limo Lunch is scheduled for Wednesday,
September 27. Awards Day (Money Wheel,
Cheese Derby, Money Machine, and Kick for Kash) is
Thursday, September 28, at 1:15 p.m. in the Activity Center. Parents are welcome to come and watch. The PTO will host an ice cream social for the
entire school on Friday, September 29.
Thanks for your wonderful support!

DONATIONS FOR DEBI: We will continue to accept donations for a
gift for Mrs. Mace through next Friday, September 29. We thank you all for your generosity toward
Mrs. Mace, who has given selflessly of her talent for many years.
YAC WINTER SPORTS SIGNUPS: The final weekend for winter sports
registrations for girls’ volleyball (grades 3 through 8) and boys’ basketball
(grades 3 through high school) is this weekend (September 23/24) after all
Masses in the Tiger Room of the OLSH Activity Center. Registration forms may be downloaded from the
OLSH website (“Athletics” “Programs”).
Any questions can be referred to Ken Hoffman at 733-9380 or emailed to
him at kdhoffman@fuse.net.
CLASSIC PERFORMANCE: Parent (and PTO President) Tamara Anderson
would like to extend an invitation to the OLSH community to join her for a
special, one-night-only performance of “Crazy for Dance, or The History of
Dance Is Really All About Annoying Your Parents”. Tamara is involved with a dance troupe called
The Flying Academy of Vintage Dance; she is producing this show with her troupe
and several others. The performance
features historically accurate dances, costumes, and music from 1800-1920 and
weaves the tale of a contemporary young couple who meet and further their own
romantic acquaintance through flashbacks to the ballrooms of Jane Austen, Scarlet O’Hara, the Titanic, and the Roaring
20’s. The show will take place at Xavier
University’s Gallagher Theater on Saturday, September 30, at 8 p.m. Ticket prices are $12 (adult), $8 (student),
and $5 (children 12 and under). Contact
Tamara at 733-3077 for more information or to order tickets.
VISIT ST. URSULA ACADEMY: St. Ursula will hold its second
“Connection Night” (the first was on September 19—we’re sorry we didn’t let you
know about that one) on Wednesday, September 27, from 6 p.m. ‘til 7:30
p.m. All eighth grade girls and their
parents are invited to experience the difference that having access to all
notes, books, and handouts in one portable electronic package (a Tablet PC) can
make for today’s student on the go.
Please call St. Ursula at 961-3410, ext. 416, to R.S.V.P.
