PSIA Special Notice
Our students will compete in all of the 72 events including students from Grades 1-8. Please mark your calendar to help us out in the concession stand or hospitality room, as a grader, a monitor or one of the many positions we will need to fill. If possible, I hope you can take off from work; if not, we understand. Know that if you do take a position at out PSIA Meet, you must be Safe Environment compliant. If you are not already trained, please don't delay. Thank you for helping us in any way. We hope to be sending many more of our students to compete at the State Level this year. PTC News
Visit the website store.gafundraising.com. Enter the School ID #1461599. Enter your student's name and start shopping. CREDIT CARDS ARE ACCEPTED ONLINE. We will still be able to track the magazine sales by student, so any magazine sales or renewals made online will be tallied for the Spring Sale. We are gearing up for a fun Spring semester! We thank ALL of our families who participated in the Catholic Life Insurance Raffle fundraiser. It was the first year for this event, so we will be evaluating it in the next few weeks to determine it’s success. We will definitely use the money raised for the students! Next, we will have the Scholastic Book Fair during Catholic School Week. Please make plans to attend our book fair and support one of our school fundraisers. We will be looking for parent volunteers to help work the book fair in the Early Childhood Center and the big school library, so if you are interested – please let the main office know. We are also looking forward to February for our Spring BBQ. As always, we are looking for parents to volunteer with the BBQing and the plate making. If you are interested in helping with either of these jobs, please contact Jennifer Garza at 652-3046. Other volunteering opportunities will be PSIA Concession Stand March 31st and Picnic Day festivities (in May). We would also like to get the word out to all parents that we will be looking for some new PTC officers for the 2012-2013 school year. We know that we would not be able to conduct any of these events without such wonderful parents. Please consider an officer position for next school year. It is a wonderful way to give back to the school and the students! OLV Choir

OLV School's 2011-12 Annual Fund has kicked off! Last year's fund helped purchase interactive whiteboards, projectors and wireless tablets for every classroom 1st through 8th grade. Our goal this year is to raise at least $50,000 to help purchase up-to-date laptops for all teachers Pre-K3 through 8th and purchase school-owned instruments and equipment for the OLV band program. Your support is an investment in our children's future success. We ask that you prayerfully, consider making a gift to the Annual Fund. Each and every gift, in any amount, benefits the educational experience of all OLV students. With your participation, we can meet and exceed our goals.
