Dear Families,

Wow! What a great first week of school!  Your children are learning so much already!  They are learning to stop and freeze when the bell rings and listen for directions.  They are learning how to sit at group as well as finding out all about each of our learning centers.  We are working on our classroom rules, "Rules of the Jungle."  Nice hands, nice feet and nice mouth.  They are doing a great job and we're so proud of them!

A few reminders for the upcoming weeks...School pictures will be taken on Wednesday, Aug. 24th and Thursday, Aug. 25th.  The school picture envelopes must be returned by Aug. 22nd.  Thank you!

If you are interested in becoming our room parent or assistant room parent there is a form in your family envelope that needs to be filled out and returned to school, attn:  Tisha.  There is a meeting in the auditorium at 6:30 pm, August 24th.  Please note that anyone who works in the classroom or is in contact with the children need to be fingerprinted and also need to take a Safe Environment Training Class.  Please see Mrs. Mary for dates and times.

Open House will be Aug. 28th from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.  Tickets are available for a delicious Tri tip and rigatoni lunch for dine in or take out.  $12.00 for adults and $7.00 for children 10 and under.  Mrs. Mary and I hope to see you all here!

As you can see work has begun on the new fencing at OLM School.  Please be careful as you are coming up the sidewalk during this time.  We will eventually have a gate to buzz you in and although this is inconvenient right now, it will all be worth it to keep your children safe.

God bless us all as we begin our 89th year of providing a quality Catholic Education for your children and God bless you for entrusting them to our care.

Miss. C

Mrs. Mary
