OLC NEWSLETTER 3/3/26

March 3, 2026 Dear Parents, Our annual World’s Finest Chocolate sale begins this week. Chocolates will be sent home tomorrow. Each family will be responsible for selling 2-1/2 boxes of chocolate (100 bars at $2 each). Each box is $80, therefore each family will be responsible for selling $200 of chocolates. The money is due by April 2. Families will be billed for the fundraiser balance before each fundraising event ends to ensure participation. We appreciate your help with this important sale. 2nd trimester report cards will be sent home this coming Thursday. Be sure to ask your child for it. There is no school on Friday, March 13. We have purchased the new Gaga Ball Pit, but we still need the wood for the walls. We’ll have another Raising Cane’s fundraiser on March 19. Please plan to go to Raising Cane’s Riverside that evening and bring your entire family! Don’t forget Family Bowling Night on Monday, March 23. This is the last week to purchase tickets. No tickets will be sold at the door. We are in Lent, and Easter vacation will be here soon. We will be on break beginning Good Friday, April 3, and we return to school on Monday, April 13. Finally, please support our Student Council Lenten season food drive running until Friday, March 20. Send your child with any of the following: pasta, oatmeal, cereal, canned foods, peanut butter or jelly.  Thank you for all you do for our school. Yours truly, Frank S. Zarate, Jr., Ed.D.
