 Box Tops Box Tops for Education is one of the easiest fundraisers we hold each year. By clipping the Box Tops on participating products we earn cash for the school to help fund class parties, our technology fund and major projects like the playground fund. We appreciate if you would start collecting these at your house and ask your family and friends to help you collect as well. Last year we collected more than $3,300 for our school through Box Tops! During PIE night we received a Box Tops parent volunteer from each classroom in each grade with the exception of 7A and 7B. If you have a student in seventh grade and would be willing to help, please contact Stephanie Spence at stephspence@roadrunner.com. |

Girl Scout Troop 36179 News!
Hello everyone, my name is Kathy Roach and I am the 2nd Grade Brownie leader. I have some very exciting news - besides the 2nd Grade Brownie Troop, we are adding Kindergarten Daisies to our troop! Even though we will be under one Troop umbrella and meeting at the same time, we will be hosting separate meeting areas. This is something new and exciting that we are going try and it should be a lot of fun. To that end, we have some important upcoming dates for you:
Attention Kindergarten Girls Interested in Daisies: Any Kindergarten girl interested in joining Daisies should contact Christina Murnock at 882-1017. Mrs. Murnock is overseeing the Daisy Troop.
Attention 2nd Grade Girls Interested in Brownies: Any 2nd Grader interested in joining Brownies should contact Kathy Roach at 490-4240 after 5:00pm.
Thank you to all of the 2nd grade scouts who renewed their membership either on-line or at registration night. For those who haven't enrolled for the 2013-2014 year, you may do so on-line. I will also have a few forms at the meeting on Thursday. The cost is $15.00.
First Troop 36179 Meeting: Our first Troop meeting will be held on Thursday, September 19, 2013, from 6:00-7:30 in the CAFETERIA. Please note the location and time change. This meeting is for both the Kindergarten Daisies and 2nd Grade Brownies. A brief parent meeting will happen from 7:15-7:30. For those young ladies in Extended Care, I would be more than happy to sign them out, with a note from you to the program, at 5:30, but you will have to pack them a sandwich for supper as we will just be staying in the Cafeteria to set up (they can do their homework while this is occurring).
Christina, Alyssa and I are so very excited about this new year, and hope you and your daughter will be too!
I look forward to seeing you on Thursday, September 19, 2013 for our first WAHOO Troop 36179 meeting in the Cafeteria at 6:00!
Kathy Roach, Christina Murnock, Alyssa Tatarko

Middle School Youth Group (grades 7 & 8)
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that I can no longer chair the OLP Middle School Youth Group. I am looking for someone to chair the monthly meetings. I will be more than happy to help behind the scenes and have electronic copies of all of the handouts and forms - so that part will be so much easier. If anyone is interested in taking over this greatly worthwhile group, please contact Kathy Roach at kathyroach66@gmail.com.
