• Cornerstone Dinner: Final chance to send in your RSVP for the Cornerstone Dinner in support of Catholic Education at OLMC.  The Dinner will be this Saturday beginning at 6:30 with a silent auction and cocktail hour.  Thank you to SO MANY who have donated, volunteered to help serve and cook, and who have helped in the organizational and procurement aspects of pulling the dinner together.  We are looking forward to a great night. 
• September 23-27: Give Backs Contest Boys v Girls: We are in the middle of the contest, and as of Wednesday morning, the girls were ahead by ONE SINGLE BOX TOP!  Keep sending in the receipts and labels.  The winners will receive an out of uniform day.  Thank you to ALL who are contributing to this program.
• Orders for Pansies, Daisies and Fall Cabbage - Order forms for the next round of Fall Flowers is now available on the website.  Delivery date is on Parent Teacher Conference Day - October 11th.  You can place your orders through the front office. A flyer can be found on the school website. 
• Front Office Closing for Mass - In order for the entire school faculty and staff to be able to attend Mass as a community, we will be closing the front office on Friday mornings from 8:10-8:50.  If you have to bring your children late to school on a Friday, please take them to the Church.  You can let them walk to their teacher, or Mrs. Hill will be seated near the organ and will ensure your children get to their classes.
• iPad Thank You - Thank you again, to all who donated toward the 2013 auction fund-an-item which enabled us to improve instruction through technology, particularly the iPad.  The teachers recently had a professional development inservice day from Apple Education, and are excited to be able to use technology when it helps to support the instructional objectives.  The schedule for the morning is to gather in the cafeteria beginning at 9:30 for a brief overview of technology at the school, followed by an opportunity for you to visit several classrooms in which the teachers have prepared lessons using technology.  Would you kindly contact Mrs. Christine Tucker at ctucker@olmc-school.com if you are planning to attend.  We look forward to seeing you.
