Dear
Parents and Guardians,
Mandatory Commitment Evenings
The Mandatory Commitment Evenings will be held on
Wednesday, May 7, and Thursday, May 8, from 3:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Registering is important, as OLV finalizes
appropriate staffing plans for 2008-09.
Seed Packets for the Laramie Avenue Garden
Please consider buying one (1) packet of flower seeds for
your child to use to contribute to a grade level class
collection of seeds that will be used to plant flowers in the
new Laramie Avenue garden. On Deloitte IMPACT Day, the Deloitte
crew will move the bricks and the planting area east about ten
feet. Then the new large planting area will be subdivided into
ten planting areas - one for each class, Pre-K thru Grade 8. The
Deloitte crew will plant all of the seeds collected by the
students on June 6.
Plastic Water Jugs to Water the New Trees
Please consider sending one (1) rinsed-out 1-gallon plastic
jug for students to use to measure water for the new trees. Each
class waters one tree. Each new tree needs 10 gallons of water a
week this year.

In order to help with operational costs (ultimately in order to keep tuition as low as possible) we save where we can. Copy paper is expensive. For one sided copies we can use scrap paper. Maybe you know of a business with old stationery they no longer use or a have a one-sided print job they cannot use. If it will work in a copy machine, we would be grateful for the donation.
