3.      Talent Show - We are going to have a talent show this year. The Catholic Schools Week Committee has asked that we have the talent show during school hours so that all the students can have the opportunity to see the show. I know this is short notice, but I think this will be a wonderful thing to do for Catholic Schools Week. If your student wants to participate in the show, please let me know what they will be doing for the show by January 11. Please e-mail me, acarson@myolph.com, with the info, so that I will have a record of it.  All music and acts need to be cleared by me between Tuesday, January 17, and Thursday, January 19.  We can use class time to preview the performance. Any props/ music need to be sent to school with the children for their preview.  Each act can be up to a maximum of 2 minutes, to allow more children to participate. The show will be on Tuesday, January 31, at 2:15. Please save the date. Parents are invited to attend.
4.      Bricks for Kidz - Too fun to be homework! Your child’s learning doesn’t need to stop when the bell rings. At Bricks 4 Kidz®, we believe it’s important to tap into a child’s potential by encouraging their curiosity and creativity in and out of the classroom. Our fun-filled model plans designed by engineers and architects, teach children to learn with LEGO® Bricks.  Each Bricks 4 Kidz STEM Enrichment class includes a short lesson around a S.T.E.M topic with a motorized model build using LEGO® bricks and some creative building time.  Amazing Animals - Jan 24th - February 28th: It’s a zoo in here! This is a unit sure to delight kids who love creatures. We’ll be building models of snakes, insects, mammals and more. Each week we’ll discuss fascinating facts about the animals we build, from the chameleon that changes colors to the seal model that waddles across the table. Students will love these moving models that celebrate the wonders of the animal kingdom. Grades: 1st - 5th.  It will be held on Tuesdays from 3:30 P.M. - 4:30 P.M .Students may be registered using the link  https://my.bricks4kidz.com/index.php?action=classdetail&record=163460            
5.      After School Art - I am excited to announce that there will be 3 new after school art opportunities for this quarter available to K-5th grade students. There will be a K-2nd grade class that will meet every other Tuesday, a 3rd-5th class that will meet every other Tuesday (alternating with K-2) and a community class on Thursdays for K-5. There is still space available in these classes, but class size will be limited. If interested in signing up, please email Mrs. Mullins at rmullins@myolph.com.
