Sunday, October 10th: Pastor Appreciation Sunday!
Dear Families and Friends of Our Savior Lutheran Church and COOS Preschool,
You are all invited to attend the 10 a.m. worship service on October 10th to celebrate Pastor Appreciation Sunday. All friends, church, and preschool families are being encouraged to participate in an old-fashioned card/note appreciation shower for Pastor Duling and his wife Laura. On Sunday, October 10th, a large white basket will be available in the back of the church to collect your expressions of appreciation. The basket will be given to Pastor and Laura at the end of the service, followed by comments and refreshments.
We look forward to a time of fellowship between friends, church, and preschool families as together we joyfully celebrate the tremendous blessing Pastor Collin and Laura are to both Our Savior Lutheran Church and Children of Our Savior Preschool.
With Joy in the Lord,
The Celebration Committee

Monday, October 11th: School Closed- Indigenous People Day/Teacher Mental Health Day
As many of you have seen on the school calendar, we will be closed on Monday for Indigenous People Day and also for a COOS Teacher Mental Health Day.
Fall is naturally the time of year when children and teachers get colds and it's almost influenza season. We are also still very much dealing with COVID19 health restrictions and guidance.
The teachers have all done a stellar job coming to work, however with the limited staff and the inability to have substitute teachers it can be difficult when teachers are out sick. To help support the teachers and their health, the school will be closed. Thank you for your understanding!
Our prayer is that we all make it through this COVID, cold, and illness season together by helping keep each other safe and healthy!

Health and Safety
Many viruses sadly become magnified in a school setting. I know we've all been through the pandemic together this past year and COVID has been on everyone's minds. Besides COVID, fevers can mean a cold, strep throat, sinus infection, and more. We send children home when they have a fever or for many other reasons listed in our illness policy. When sent home, children need to rest, drink clear liquids and hopefully take a trip to the doctor. We do this because we love your child and want them to feel better. We also do this to try and keep the other children in the class well, the teachers, and the teachers’ children well. Thanks for understanding and for taking our policies seriously!

Friday, October 22, 2021: Trike-A-Thon!
Our annual Trike-A-Thon is coming up! During school hours 2 classrooms at a time will ride bicycles, tricycles, and scooters for 30 minutes with parents and teachers cheering them on.
For the fundraising part, you try to get sponsors for the 30-minute ride through Givebutter. (Sign up here and start getting sponsors, don't forget to join your classroom team!)
On the day of the event, the school parking lot will be closed. During drop-off you will look for your child's classroom sign and park their bicycle, tricycle, or scooter (with their helmet), please remember to label everything!
Parents will be allowed to attend the 30-minute event in the parking lot, we just ask that for the safety of all children and adults on-premises, masks should be worn at all times, thank you!
Trike-A-Thon Schedule:
Blue Jays and Rosy-Finch: 9:00 am
Robins and Mockingbirds: 9:45 am
Chickadees: 10:30 am
Sparrows: 11:15 am
