Week of February 18, 2018

NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

• School will be closed tomorrow, February 19, for faculty inservice and in observance of Presidents Day.

• It’s time to shop! The OHS Spring/Summer Consignment Sale is this week in the Enrichment Center. Come shop the sale for great deals on gently used children’s spring and summer clothing, shoes, swimsuits, bikes, sports equipment, toys, books, DVDs, baby equipment, home décor and more. Used OHS uniforms will be on sale Friday, February 23, from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. Click HERE for additional dates and times.

• We are in need of many more volunteers to help make the Consignment Sale a success. The Consignment Sale is one of the biggest fundraisers for the Parents Association; the funds raised at the sale go directly back to our school. We need our OHS families to be the faces of this sale. You do not have to consign to volunteer. There is a separate volunteer sign up for OHS parents who do not consign. Please consider signing up for a volunteer shift or two by clicking HERE. If you are consigning, then please sign up on the consignor homepage and NOT on the link for volunteers only. Volunteers are most needed for the following shifts: Wednesday, February 21, 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
  
  Thursday, February 22, 7:40 a.m. - 10:40 a.m., 2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.

• We are excited to announce that Cary Rayson, MSSW, from Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee will join us on Tuesday, March 6, at 6 p.m., for the next installment of the Common Trust Speaker Series. Cary will share with us a presentation, Be Brave for Children, about how we, as adults, can learn to protect children from sexual abuse. You will walk away from the presentation with five useful steps that are proven to protect children. While a heavy topic, we hope you will mark your calendars and plan to attend this informative and important presentation.

• We remind you to please refrain from using your cell phone during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal. We also ask that you share this reminder with any other individuals who may be responsible for bringing your child to school or picking up in the afternoon. Recently, we have experienced a few closer calls than we feel comfortable with due to inattentive drivers. We appreciate your cooperation and help keeping our children safe!

• Team sign-ups for OHS spring sports are now underway. Boys lacrosse (5th/6th), girls lacrosse (5th/6th) and track and field (4th-6th) will begin very soon. Click HERE to register. The deadline to sign up for lacrosse is this Friday, February 23, and the deadline to sign up for track and field is Friday, March 9. Go Panthers!

• Please join us for the 2nd annual Moms Coffee on Thursday, March 1, 9:30 a.m. - 11 a.m., in the FPC Gathering Place. We are fortunate to welcome Jodie Berndt as our guest speaker. She is the author of nine books, including the popular Praying the Scriptures for Your Children, Praying the Scriptures for Your Teen, Praying the Scriptures for Your Adult Children and The Undertaker’s Wife. Jodie has a deep passion to equip people to pursue joy, celebrate grace and live on purpose. We hope to see many of our OHS moms at this special event! Please RSVP via the Paperless Post invitation that you received if you plan to attend. 

• Have you been collecting Boxtops? It’s time to turn them in to help earn Easy Money for OHS. Bring in your Boxtops and drop in the collection containers located in the Rotunda anytime between now and Friday, February 23.

The February virtue is LOVE. Our verse this week is from 1 Peter 4:8, “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
