·         Praying Parents--The "Praying Parents" is a group of parents who gather to pray specifically for the children, teachers, parents, clergy and staff of our Catholic Schools. Prayers come directly from scripture, along with any intentions received. The group meets on Thursdays following Mass (9:00 A.M.) in Holy Family Hall of OLPH Church. The first meeting will be Thursday, August 16. If you have questions please contact Lori Voges, Religion Teacher at OLPH School at lvoges@catholicweb.com . Draw closer to God through prayer and fellowship. Seek God's wisdom and receive His peace.
·         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.
·         VIRTUS training--There is a VIRTUS training at OLPH on Monday, August 27. VIRTUS is a program for protection of children and youth and is mandated by the Diocese of Knoxville for all adults volunteering or working with children. This includes substitute teachers, coaches, classroom volunteers and boy/girl scout leaders. Registration is done online at www.virtus.org . Once on the website, click on registration, then scroll to Knoxville Diocese and click on it to find Our  Lady of Perpetual Help and register.
