meeting will begin at 6:00 P.M.
3. 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.
4.
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.

Art Programs
·
ART EXHIBIT: 1st and 2nd grade are exhibiting clay angels
and heart drawings in the Creative Discovery Museum during the month of
January. Don't miss out on this amazing work from OLPH students.
·
The Mural Painting Club will begin Tuesday, January 19. They
will meet every week for the rest of the school year from 3:10 to

club is offered to students from 5th-8th grade.

OIL PAINTING class will begin Thursday, January 21.
Students will create beautiful works of art on canvas

other week from 3:10 to 4:30 for the rest of the year. To learn more

6. Challenge Island is a one-of-a-kind enrichment program on the cutting edge of
STEM education and 21st century learning that is now offered Tuesdays after
school for grades 1st - 5th. Students will work
collaboratively to create, think critically, and develop a love of science and
engineering. Challenge Island is loosely based on a well-known reality TV
show and has kids dividing into tribes to take on a vast array of exciting
challenges set on action-packed thematic "islands". OLPH will offer
Challenge Island classes from 3:30-4:30 on
Tuesdays from January 19th through March 8th. This action packed island is set in the
Amazon rain forest and will offer a whole new jungle of challenges for
adventurous tribes to tackle. Cost is $95 for all sessions and
registration is online at my.challenge-island.com. If you have any questions, see Mrs. Monahan.

2016 AUCTION! Our parents are a
great networking tool for this event.
You have a lot of ties within the community just from your school and
parish families. Review your business,
family and social contacts and see who might be willing to donate a product or
service. We can use all sorts of items - from artwork and timeshare
stays to ballet lessons and tax preparation services. Businesses that you
know will love the exposure that our auction can give them and are
just waiting to be asked! Contact Cissy West at cwest@myolph.com to have request letters and donor
contracts (for tax deductibility) sent home with your student. We would like to
have all items in hand by the last week of January to give us time to get them
ready for ChattiGras on February 6.

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 girl's teams, the JV boys and JV 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.
·
Boosters are 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.

an excellent meet last night against Ooltewah, East Hamilton, CSAS, and Hunter

the boys 200 free relay which placed first. Isabella had a personal best in the
