If we surpass that and reach 1,250, we will get an additional day off school in the spring! We are also offering rewards for families who meet their goal of 5, and there is a competition for the highest selling class. Please drop by the office if you need additional forms, and feel free to refer friends, parishioners and relatives to the website, to purchase as well: http://bit.ly/2x1z4pR.

2.      2017 Ram Challenge Golf Tournament - The Ram Classic Golf Tournament is fast approaching, and we are still in need of volunteers, hole sponsors, and teams to play! To sign up to help on September 25 go to http://signup.com/go/mmLXPJV. We have morning and afternoon shifts available. Please consider putting together a foursome, going in on sponsoring a hole with your class or ask your company if they would be willing. Information and forms are available on the website at http://school.myolph.com/support/golftournament.cfm.

3.       Grand Ram Tricycle Race and Choo Choo Bowl - The 4th Annual Grand Ram Tricycle Race is Saturday, Sept 30th in the back parking lot used for pick up / drop off.  Check in for registered racers and onsite registration is at 8:30am.  Races will start at 9am.  If you would still like to register, you can go to the main page of our website at www.school.myolph.com for links to more info and the registration form.  All racers who are present will be given chances to win one of over 70 prizes - including passes to SuperFly, $50 gift certificates to Educational Outfitters, 1 month of training at D1, ukulele and 2 lessons, Mellow Mushroom and movie passes, gift cards to Menchie's, Einstein Bagels and Maple Street and more!  The grade with the highest percentage of participation will win an ice cream party.  All middle school students who participate will earn 1,000 points for their House AND a late-homework pass from Mrs. Cummings.  Don't miss out on the fun!!!  Immediately following the race will be the Ram Walk to kick off Choo Choo Bowl XXVII featuring our own Catholic Football team vs. Sale Creek!  

4.      5^th Grade Service Project - The 5th grade class is collecting eclipse glasses to send to Astronomers without Borders, a nonprofit group. The group plans to distribute the glasses to underprivileged children in South America and Asia for the eclipse that will pass through those continents in 2019.  Please donate your glasses to the school. You may bring them to your child's homeroom teacher. We will begin collecting them after Labor Day until Sept. 29.

5.      St. Vincent de Paul - The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is currently seeking vendors for our craft fair on Saturday, October 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Vendors can secure a booth for only $10 and a pledge to donate 10% of their proceeds to the SSVdP.  Anyone interested should please contact Becky Valadie at 423-867-9491 or 423-503-1915.

6.      Coke Rewards - The Coke rewards program is back, and it is easier than ever to help OLPH School by donating your points! If you drink any Coke products, you will find codes that are printed inside the lids of bottles or inside the cardboard carton of multi-packs of cans. You can help us earn money from Coke by creating an account at https://us.coca-cola.com. Instructions for entering the codes are on our website at http://school.myolph.com/support/partners.cfm. It’s so easy! You can even snap pictures of the codes with your phone instead of typing them in! If you are not a Coke product drinker, please feel free to drop by the office and pick up some lids. If you drink Coke products but don't want to enter codes, please set your lids or carton end panels aside and send them to the school office. Thanks for your help! Every little bit helps!
