Greetings!
Tomorrow is our last day for the
Fall Fundraiser for prizes! Will we get to that
$8,000 fundraising goal for Mr. Kramer to "Shave that Beard"?
Online reports show we've got about $6,000 raised last night...
TOMORROW is the last day
(Sept. 27th). Bring in all your paperwork... the online sales will get added to all the paper sales turned in... we are so close!
OLG School is hiring. I'm happy to announce we've hired two
EDC Staff and are working on a third. The official job post for the full-time
Development Director is up for sharing as well now. Please share the news with qualified candidates!
I'm looking forward to our upcoming first weekend in October!
Spirit Wear on October 4th, I should hopefully have a shorter beard, and also our
Many parts join together on Saturday afternoon for
Beers & Brats and Sunday @11am for our special blessing of all teachers (and all parents & guardians) who are all catechesis (teachers) in our
One Body of OLG. I look forward to seeing you there!

And Carnival prep is slowly building...
Once we're all recovered from the epic party that is Beers & Brats, it will be time to focus on our
children's
happiness in the form of the 2019 Halloween Carnival. We want to fill our Carnival volunteer roster to capacity as well, including a themed Trunk-or-Treat car for every class, PS-8th. This is an all-hands-on-deck event: set-up and clean-up are massive undertakings, plus money handling, ticket-taking, dunk tank volunteers, contest judges, cake procurers – we need YOU! Sixth- and seventh-grade volunteers earn hours for volunteering! The signup will debut no later than Oct. 7!
P.S. The SnapBar is a GO! Can't wait to take selfies with all of you! * -Hil

Clipped Box Tops are being collected in the month of October for fall turn-in. Please turn them in at the school or in the container in the church library. - CLIP IT
NEW! The Box Tops for Education Program is changing the way we can earn
cash for our school.
Participating brands have begun to change their packaging from the traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops label.
We will continue to earn cash for all clipped Box Tops until the expiration date printed on the label.
PLUS, earn digitally by scanning your receipt containing participating products. - SCAN IT
|
|
Ideally, we can "
double dip" during the packaging transition by
clipping traditional Box Tops
AND
scanning store receipts containing participating products.
Watch a video
to learn more or contact
Erin Pedras with questions. Thank you for helping our school get new recess equipment!

Can you help us build a new garden shed?
Our parish received a Rice Bowl grant to build a new garden shed for our Parish Peace Garden (which raises food for our local food bank). We need to use these funds in the next few weeks
before the winter weather sets in
!
We need volunteers to not only help design it (slightly taller than what we currently have), but also build it. Qualifies for volunteer hours! Contact
