3. Beginner Lego Our favorite Beginner Lego program is starting in January. Kids
in K-2 grade are welcome. This program is designed to teach the kids how
to build using the books and from their own imagination. We will have a 2 to 1
ratio of learners to helper. This is an annual program that I normally do
in the fall but because of Lego League I had to delay it for the
winter. We will meet for 4 weeks.
·
Week 1 is introduction to parts
and names. The kids will build a simple airplane as they learn the parts and
their names.
·
Week 2 the kids will build an 80
to 100 piece model.
·
Week 3 the kids will build a 180
to 250 piece model. Week 3 home work the kids will rebuild the model into a
second model.
·
Week 4 is a free build where the
kids will build designs of their own using the clubs 60,000 Lego pieces.
The kids will get to keep the
models from weeks 2 and 3 and take them home on week 3. We will have one
older student helper for each 2 younger students. We will meet on Tuesdays this
year. The dates are Jan 12, Jan 19, Jan 26 and Feb
2. The fee for this program is $65. We are limited to the first 10 kids in
grades k-2. To Sign up please visit http://olphmakersclub.blogspot.com/2015/12/been-while-new-projects.html.
4. School Facilities If you are interested in reserving any of the school facilities
outside of the school day, we now have a calendar in the school office that
needs to be filled out. This includes the
Cafeteria, Library, Multi-Purpose Room and the Gym. All groups and sports with on-going uses need
to come by the office to be sure your space is reserved.
5.
Health and Hygiene: We want to take a moment
and address some common concerns for students and parents alike. The
transmission of germs is a concern at all times but especially during cold/flu
season and when students are in close proximity at school. Please remind your
students of the importance of hand washing/sanitizing throughout the day.
Another way some illnesses can be transmitted is through saliva. Mono is a
common viral infection that is transmitted in this way. It typically shows up
with cold or flu-like symptoms and is contagious via contact while the child
has a fever but through saliva after the fever is gone. Students should not
share drinks or utensils at snack or in the cafeteria. Finally, be
mindful of when students report having a fever. Although we want everyone to be
at school as much as possible, students with fevers should stay home rather
than risk passing illness to classmates. Thank you for your support in fighting
illness here at OLPH.

SPORTS NEWS

The OLPH Rams basketball teams are gearing up for the
2015-2016 season. We will be hosting many schools in our gym for games
involving the 5th grade boys and girls teams, the JV boys and girls teams and
the Varsity boys and girls teams. We are asking our OLPH families for help with
a few jobs that we need during these games. If you are able to help out by
working in the concession stand or taking money at the door for entrance fees,
you will be able to earn PIP hours for your work. You do not have
to be a basketball parent to help out. We need
for only parents of OLPH students to sign up (not older brothers or
sisters).
Please use the link below to take you
straight to the sign up sheet.
·
Booster Club membership cards are being sent home starting today. Please present your card at home games to get
free admission. The Booster Club will be
posting a list of current members via email and a copy will be on hand at the
gate. If you are interested in signing
up, forms will be available at the gate.
·
Beginning next week the Boosters
hope to be able to take credit/debit cards both at the gate and for
concessions. In this way, OLPH hopes to
make attending home games easier for parents on the go.
