3.      Tricycle Race - Sat, Sept 22nd - OLPH's 5th Annual Grand Ram Tricycle Race.  Many thanks to those who have already turned in your registration forms - shirts will be distributed at the end of next week.  There is still time to pre-register for only $12 and receive a cool event shirt which can later be used on Spirit Days every Wednesday.  We welcome anyone PreK to adult!  We did order extra shirts in all sizes, but they will be distributed first come first serve.   A registration form is attached in case you need one or you can register/pay on OLPH's website.  We will have a drawing for some great door prizes for those participating!  Remember that big wheels and tricycles must have front handle bars and pedals, no Green Machine types. Adult tricycles will be available for those wanting to use them. All students who race will receive a free out of uniform pass and all middle school students will also earn 300 points for their House.  Questions, please email Kari Hudson at kariklemm@aol.com.  Following the race will be OLPH’s Fall Festival with fun carnival games, a petting zoo, pony rides, bounce houses and more!
