Virtue for the Month of March: Goodness; Goodness is the desire to do good and to be good; this should always be at the front of a faithful Christian's mind.  We know that Jesus come to forgive us and give us eternal life.  We show our thanks for this gift in the good we do.

SCHOOL NEWS: Volunteer Opportunities, Safety Patrol, Yearbook PDA's, Sugar and Spice, Rice Bowl, Tuition Assistance Applications, 8th Grade BBQ Lunch, and Kindergarten Open House
·        Volunteer opportunities are now just a few clicks away. If you would like to see how you can help out at OLPH School and earn your PIP hours, start with our website www.myolph.com (make sure you have saved that as a favorite on your browser’s tool bar!). From there you can hover over the “Parent Resources” tab and then click on the “Parent Involvement Program” in the drop down list. There is a link just below the title for the “OLPH Volunteer sign-up page” that will take you to our group page on Volunteer Spot group page. Once you find the spot you want to sign up for, you only need to enter your email address – you do not need to create an account. The link at the bottom of the PIP page on the website will allow you to see when the next Virtus training will be scheduled. 
·        Need PIP hours?  We need volunteers for the Safety Patrol!  We have eliminated the position by kindergarten so we only need a crossing guard.  Don't like the cold mornings?  Sign up for April or May.  Please go online and sign up right away. http://vols.pt/4cZ5vU.
·        The yearbook is one of our favorite school traditions.  Students anticipate reliving the school year through photos, student portraits and event highlights.  Support our school and recognize your student--post a Personal Display of Affection (PDA) ad in the OLPH yearbook! The deadline for ordering a PDA is March 31st.  It is $25 for ¼ page, $50 for ½ page and $100 for a whole page.
·        The “Sugar and Spice Brunch” is back on the calendar for springtime!  Save the date for Saturday, April 25th from 10 a.m. - 12:30 pm.  Women of all ages gather to share faith, food, and fun while building virtue in our community! This exciting event includes lovely decorated tables where you will be served brunch with a speaker, raffle, music, and door prizes.  More info will follow soon.  Planning Committee will meet this coming week on Thursday, February 26th at 2 p.m. in the OLPH Church Office.  If you would like to be on the Planning Committee, contact Cathy Oliver at catherineoliver@optilink.us or 706-264-6966 whether you can attend the 2/26 meeting or not.  
·        Our 8th grade class will lead the school in CRS, Operation Rice Bowl.  We use this of Lent to grow closer to God, through prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  This year, our school will use CRS Rice Bowl, a faith in-action program that helps families experience Lenten spirituality in living solidarity with people in need around the world.  Your child will receive a cardboard CRS Rice Bowl and a Lenten calendar, which contains a prayer of reflection for you to say as a family each day throughout Lent.  Place you child's CRS Rice Bowl on your dinner table or somewhere visible in your home.  Hang the Lenten calendar on the refrigerator and read today's reflection as a family.
·        Parents please remember that Tuition Assistance Applications are due by March 6th.  If you have any questions, contact, Chris Curtis at NDHS 423-624-4618.  
·        Hungry?  Come to the PLC after the 10:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. Mass on March 22 to purchase a delicious BBQ plate lunch and support the 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C. $10 Plates will include barbeque pork, beans, cole slaw, potato salad and Texas toast.
·        The OLPH School Pre-K4 and Kindergarten Open House originally scheduled for February 19th has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 12, 2015 from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.  If you have a child, who will be four or five years old, before August 15th, 2015, come and check out our PreK program and our modified Montessori Kindergarten program.  We make learning fun!  Meet us in the Kindergarten classroom, underneath the church office.
