that your family lacks ($10 per hour). Hours worked by grandparents
or others may be entered under the parent's name and a comment added with the
name of the worker. You can review the requirements for the number of hours you
need, and get instructions on how to enter by going to our website: http://school.myolph.com/resources/pip.cfm

a little TLC! Please plan to join us on Saturday, May 14 between 8:30 and noon to get our garden area ready for
summer. If we get enough help, we may be tackling other parts of the campus, as
well. Sign up at http://vols.pt/AuLNwC.

Keep Collecting those Box
Tops! Our final collection date for the year will be Friday, May 6. This

winning grade. Prize TBD.

Atlanta where Delta Airlines has volunteered to ship the donations. The items
can be placed in boxes in Holy Family Hall and in the entranceway. Needed items; tents, light cotton blankets,
toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, diapers, hand wipes, batteries,
flashlights, garbage bags, water (1 l. bottles) baby food, can food and first
