November Dress Down                   

 

Book Fair 2012 

 

 Congratulations to all of the students  who were nominated for a PRAISE Award in September and October!

The September PRAISE winners are:

As we approach another winter, it is time to remind ourselves of the procedures for unanticipated school closings and delays.  School closings or delays will be determined according to the following procedure:

Schools will be closed only in the event of a declared city-wide emergency or if prevailing weather conditions are considered so severe as to place children en route to schools in a clearly dangerous or unhealthy situation.  These conditions include:

     - impassable streets and/or sidewalks

     - Extreme cold temperatures and/or gale-like winds

The three TV channels will announce the closing or delay of schools during the 6:00a.m. news.  Radio stations will also announce the delays and closings.

If there is a school delay, then the OLP extended Care Program will operate on its normal schedule for students already signed up for this program.

 

A Sense-sational Evening Ticket Pre-sales

Are you looking for a unique Christmas gift idea for a teacher or even a friend? Have you ever thought about getting them an evening out? Tickets for the Third Annual A Sense-sational Evening to be held on Saturday, March 2, 2013, will be on sale in the Advancement Office (room 111) during Parent/Teacher conferences on Monday, November 19th and Tuesday, November 20th. You can purchase them for the discounted price of $35 each ($40 regular price). If purchasing as a gift for a teacher, you can think about families going in together to buy the gift for a teacher. If you are a homeroom mom for a party, think about having each child contribute towards the ticket and give as a class gift. A list of teachers the tickets are purchased for will be kept and will be available on a first come first served basis.

The winning homerooms for October are:

DAISY SCOUTS

ATTENTION ALL FIRST GRADE YOUNG LADIES!!!

Daisy Scouts for 1st Grade is starting!!! Our first meeting is on Thursday, November 8 after school until 5:00pm. A meeting for parents will be from 4:45 until 5:00. All Daisy Scout meetings are held in the Scout House on the North side of the parking lot. Attached is the flyer that went home last week, as well as the Girl Scout Enrollment Form. I am looking for a few parents to help at each meeting, so if you are interested, simply come to the meeting on Thursday or send me an e-mail. For those young ladies participating, I note must be written to your daughter's teacher each meeting/field trip stating that your daughter is car rider and going with Mrs. Roach to the Daisy Meeting.

 

ATTENTION ALL KINDERGARTEN GIRLS!!!

A Kindergarten Daisy troop needs to be established with leaders. Therefore, there is no troop at this time. A mother has contacted me that she might be willing to co-lead this troop. So, if there is a Kindergarten parent that would be willing to co-lead this group, please contact me. It is such a great adventure to participate in scouting with your daughter, and so rewarding too!!!

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at kathyroach66@gmail.com or 490-4240.

Thank you, and happy scouting!!!

"Girls Night Out" a new group forming at OLP to give girls an opportunity to get together, learn new things, build friendships and team work and find ways to help in their school, church and local community. The group will plan to meet one time per month-the second Thursday of the month - from 6-7:30pm in the school cafeteria. There will be no registration fees but we would ask for meeting dues to $3 per meeting to cover expenses for the meetings. The first meeting is planned for Thursday November 8 from 6-7:30pm. Come see what it is all about!!

Please RSVP if you are coming to Cheryl DiPietro at cheryl_dipietro@yahoo.com  or  Clarisa Zacherl at azacherl@roadrunner.com
