Oktoberfest:
Come join us at Hunter Farms for our annual Oktoberfest October 1st from 6-9 pm.  It's a great date night excursion and a way to meet other OLM parents and it helps raise money for technology at OLM! 
 
Rosary:
Every Thursday in October we will be saying the Rosary.  Your child may bring a rosary from home.  Please stress the importance of the rosary to your child.  It is not jewelry or a toy and should be treated respectfully. 
 
Snack Money:
Please bring a labeled ziplock baggie with snack sale money for your child if you would like them to be able to purchase something on cookie sale or healthy snack sale days.  Many of you have already done so.  Several children need more money.  Come check with us and we will let you know if your child needs more spending money.
 
Pet Photo:

Sweatshirts and Sweaters:
Please label all sweatshirts and sweaters.  No iron clothing labels are a great way to do this.  You can write your child's name on them, they stick on (no ironing), and stay on in the washer and dryer.  Martha Stewart makes a good one.  I got some at Staples years ago for my children.
Pumpkin Patch:   
Permission slips will be coming home soon. Chaperones must have completed the required safe environment training, cleared fingerprints, and turned in the forms for driving (see office for these). 
St. Vincent de Paul:
Please pack a healthy sack lunch to give to the poor on Friday.  We will decorate a bag on Thursday, you can fill it and bring it back on Friday morning.  Items to include:  PBJ sandwich, apple, granola bar, and a water.  These are not refrigerated so don't include things that need to be refrigerated.
