·         Ram Run 2012--We're gearing up for this year's Ram run on October 13. As you know, this is the school's biggest fundraiser, and last year we raised close to $9,000. This year we're hoping to exceed $10,000, but we need your help! If you own a business or work for a company that might be interested in being a sponsor this year, please email Dawn McAbee at dvscavett@yahoo.com for details on how to participate.
·         Food allergies--We have several students with food allergies, and some with severe peanut/tree nut allergies. We ask that no nut products be brought in to school for treats in the classrooms. We prefer no food with nuts or nut by-products be brought for lunch. However, if they are, students will be sitting at a designated table for these lunches. This enables us to monitor easily and make sure those students and tables are completely clean from peanuts and residue after lunch.
·         St. Cecilia's Closet--A donation bin/basket is in Holy Family Hall for families to drop off gently used OLPH School uniforms. St. Cecilia's Closet is open when the school office is open (see schedule above).
