6.      We hope you will join us for OLPH Spirit Day at Pin Strikes on Sunday, November 15^th.  This will be a fun opportunity to socialize with other OLPH families, while raising money for our school!

Here are the details:

Date/Time: Sunday, November 15^th from 12pm - 4pm

Where: Pin Strikes at 6241 Perimeter Drive (off Lee Hwy near interstate)

Cost: $15/person which includes 2 games of bowling plus shoe rental

FYI - The cost for these vouchers is the normal weekend cost to bowl minus sales tax - so you are getting about a 10% discount plus OLPH will get 50% of all money collected. 

Who: Anyone - whether you come with your friends, family, co-workers, etc - anyone can purchase a voucher with proceeds benefitting OLPH

Why: 50% of all proceeds will go directly to OLPH! 

What if we can't bowl on this day? The vouchers will be good for any day from today until May 1, 2016.  Yes, you can start bowling this weekend!  Even if you can join us on November 15^th, you can still buy additional vouchers for a future visit - maybe over the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays. 

How do you get vouchers for this event? You can purchase them now through Cissy West in the office OR you can purchase them at Pin Strikes on November 15^th from 12pm - 4pm. 

Do you take checks or credit cards? Yes, if you pre-purchase these vouchers through the office, you can make a check out to OLPH School or pay by credit card (3% processing fee); however, if you show up the day of the event, you will need cash.  There is an ATM inside the building.

So start making plans now to join us on Sunday, November 15^th!  This will be a fun way to get to know other OLPH families better and to spend time with those you already know!  We hope to see you there!
