NO SCHOOL - NO ACED

Students earned the incentive day for Turkey Trot registrations, so there will be NO SCHOOL & NO ACED on Wednesday, December 22. Christmas break will begin a day early. Yippee!

BOOK FAIR: This year’s theme is “Books Bring Us Together”. Books bring us together for reading with family and friends. Books bring us together with our favorite characters. Books bring us together by inspiring what we love to share: joy, insight, laughter, adventure, and memories.

Looking forward to seeing you at our Scholastic Book Fair!

> In-person book fair takes place in the Donovan Room (online ordering will also be an option, more information to come.)



> Dress As Your FAVORITE Book Character will be Tuesday, November 30. 

If you are available to volunteer to help at the Book Fair, please sign up here.

DONATIONS NEEDED FOR UPCOMING CHRISTMAS FAIR:

The Christmas Fair is right around the corner! On Monday, December 13, the PTO will sponsor this annual event where each child will have the opportunity to select gifts for their immediate family members (those who live in their home/ no more than 4 gifts). The prices on items will be extremely reasonable ranging from $1-$3 and the proceeds will benefit the Parish Relief Fund. There will be items for babies, young children, teens and adults. 

Donate your gently used treasures (jewelry, toys, knick-knacks, games with all of the pieces, home decor, men's items, etc.) and place them in the Christmas Fair bin at the school front office. See the Christmas Fair flyer for details and a list of items that cannot be accepted.

PANTHER PARTNERS: Interested in becoming a Panther Partner? It’s not too late. OLP will continue to accept donations during the entire school year!

Want more information on becoming a Panther Partner? Visit our school website for details or email the Panther Partner Committee!

Check out the full list of current Panther Partners that have contributed to OLP for the 2021-22 school year. Please frequent these businesses to show your support of those that support our school.

NEXT PTO MEETING: Please mark your calendars and plan to get involved at the next PTO meeting, Tuesday, December 7; 6:30 p.m. in the Donovan Room. 

SCRIP UPDATE: November, time to start thinking about Christmas! Shopping may be a little challenging this year, so why not take the easy route and get gift cards! In one order you could be DONE shopping! How perfect does that sound! 

Don't forget that SCRIP is OLP's fundraiser, so not only can you buy gift cards, but you can SELL them too! Think of it like selling candy bars, you would take a box to work and sell them to your co-workers right? Why not tell your friends and family to shop for gift cards for the holidays with you!?
