• Purse BINGO - The Winner Is...

Our entire school!! The entire event grossed $15,500.00.

We couldn't have done this without you! Thank you very much to everyone who participated!!

• Now Is THE Time - Time for what? Time to send in your 2024 Federal Tax Form 1040 to school. If you have already done this deed, then thank you! We've received over 135 families' returns. If you still need to complete this task, then please reach out to Jan McManus at jmcmanus@ol-g.org or Kent Clady at kclady@ol-g.org. Perhaps you want to pay full tuition. Perhaps you don't qualify. Perhaps you don't know what to send in. Just let us know! We are here to help you save thousands of dollars.

• Lost and Found - Lost and Found is overflowing! Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the school year.

• Trash Bag Sales Have Returned! Fifth and Sixth Grade students will take orders May 5th - 16th. Kitchen (15 gallons) Large (39 gallons) and X-Large (55 gallons) sizes are available at $12 per roll. Please see your favorite fifth or sixth grader to stock up on these quality trash bags! If you have any questions please contact Eric Moster at emoster78@gmail.com. Trash bags are also available in the school office.

• Field Day is THIS Friday!

Volunteers: You must complete the Safe and Sacred training program (school website has the links you need - www.ol-g.org). If you submit your portion TODAY, you should be good to go Friday! Bring a poncho / rain jacket / umbrella in case we continue games in the rain. And, you’re welcome to a hotdog lunch or to pack your own! Mrs. Mahin will meet volunteers at the garage / shed at the far south end of the school property.

The weather forecast is giving us just enough courage to commit to being outside the whole day! If a pop-up lightning storm approaches, we will take a break in the gym, and we will resume as soon as we can! There will be a NEW Wet Zone at lunch to help cool us down (expected to be in the mid 80’s)!

REMINDERS: Put your name on anything you would like returned (water bottles, hats, sunglasses, sling bags, etc). Wear your “family” color shirts, appropriate shorts, SUNSCREEN, and tennis shoes. Remember that the pick-up line will not open up until 2:50; Mr. Jester will be helping to organize parents in the North Church parking lot.

If you can’t help run Field Day, but you do want to be there, we suggest you come from 11:30 - 12:30 and enjoy their lunch break / recess! The students will be hustling to the different game stations in the morning / afternoon, limiting their social time; however, everyone is welcome to witness this fun-filled (chaotic) day!

If this piece of legislation goes into law, then every K through grade 12 family would qualify for vouchers. The decision should come sometime in March.

You can go ahead and submit your 2024 tax return now, or you can wait and see what happens. We are unsure of what - if any - documentation will be necessary.

Let's look for the gift of Bethlehem's stillness for our families and those that we love. Please take the time to see Christmas through the eyes of your favorite young person! Sending my prayers for all to be safe.

WE HOPE TO HAVE A LARGE CHOIR!!!!

In an effort to improve our own school's attendance, we will let parents know when a student's absences or tardies approach and/or fall into the chronic range.

Here are some ways you can help your child get to school every day and on time.

- Encourage your child to get out of the car and walk down the sidewalk to the cafeteria when the car line is long.

- Drop off at school before the big rush. Morning care is free after 7:25 am. Your child can get some breakfast, chat with friends, and come into the classroom without being rushed and rattled.

- If your child is in need of assistance getting out of the car, pull down to the dumpster area in order to keep the car line moving.

- If your young one is pitching a fit about coming to school, call the office and ask for assistance. Believe us when we say that the tantrum stops as soon as you drive off!
