Update
Winter greetings! So much has passed by since my last update, and for that I apologize! I want to remind parents to be asking students for their newsletters each month. A Catholic Schools Week newsletter has been handed out that has some pretty important info in it! If you are not getting your newsletters, please call or e-mail me or Ms. Sara and we can hook you up!
Today starts the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Conferences have been set up by Ms. Sara, and they are scheduled for Feb 9th. Please let us know if something comes up where you can't make it to your scheduled conference and we can make alternate plans to meet or talk by phone.
The 5-8th grades will be going skiing at Mt.Ashwabay on Wednesday, the 25th. (This Wednesday!) The students need to come with their fee of $18 (unless they already have gear and/or a season pass) and their permission slip.
On Tuesday, January 31st, 10 am @ OLL, we will join Park Falls (St. Anthony's) and Superior (Cathedral) Schools in celebrating Mass with our Bishop, celebrating Catholic Schools Week together! OLL students and guests should wear RED!!!!!
Lastly, we will be collecting items for silent auction baskets this week to sell at the end of Catholic Schools Week. Our 7th grade class has a Christmas theme. If you have many items to donate following another theme, the school would welcome a second basket to sell for each class. Please only donate what you feel comfortable with. If we get an abundance of donations, we can always save some for a later auction or fundraiser.
Thank you so much for your support and loyalty to OLL!
Please join us if you can for skiing on Wednesday. We are always looking for help with driving and chaperoning!
Blessings!

Dear school families,
Welcome to the season of Advent! I would like to begin by thanking you for sending in money for our Advent project, which is much like the Heifer Project last year. We are raising money for World Vision, an organization which supports the poorest people of the world. 85% of our donations will directly reach those people, the other 15% goes into supporting World Vision's mission. Any donations will be collected here at school and we will count the money raised before we leave for Christmas break. The students can designate how they want their money spent, which we will be voting on as a junior high group.
I was very proud of the 7th grade in our first Advent liturgy, and the first Mass in which the new liturgical responses took place. Thank you to my 7th graders, and to the parents who reminded the students to look nice and to practice their readings. Thank you to Mrs. Westlund, Mrs. Betzold and Mr. Bell for helping us with the music and to Fr. Gary for his cool homily!
We do have a science test in the 7th grade tomorrow on Plants. We will be testing on photosynthesis, plant/flower reproduction, and the general anatomy and physiology of plants with correct terminology.
7th grade math students have been working on graphing linear equations, and were quizzed on it today. We are now moving into solving proportions by using cross multiplication.
Thank you for all the items brought in for "Stuff the truck!" Our class was in 2nd place for pounds of food collected. It is an awesome feeling to help out the mission of the Brick!
Please encourage your student to pick up some extra chores at home without being rewarded as a part of Advent preparation. We will be trying to help them out with this while at school too!
Wishing luck to the Bruins basketball team tonight as they play Park Falls and also thanking Coach Hoglund and Coach Mattes for all of their VOLUNTARY time, patience, efforts and talents during this basketball season!
Another special thanks to Mr. Bloss for all the time he is putting into helping our church and school with the Christmas tree sale. He and his wife are extraordinary people and I wanted to recognize them for all of their contributions for the Christmas Bazaar and the Christmas tree sales! You two ROCK!!!

Dear School Family,
Thank you so much for your awesome support of our student teacher, Mr. Ness. We will miss him dearly, but wish him luck as he continues his practice teaching at Washburn High School! Thank you for the money contributions toward the scrip cards for him. While giving him a gift to thank him, we were also contributing back to our school with the scrip program! We were able to purchase Barnes and Noble, Black Cat, Ashland Food Co-op, and Book World certificates.
Thanks again for your generosity and thoughtfulness!
Thank you parents for all of your great support during the Iowa Basic Tests. Special thanks to Mrs. Sara Bichanich for the treats that you sent for our class! Testing made us very hungry! We should get our results within the next couple of weeks.
Thank you very much to the volunteers who took the time to proctor some tests for junior high students, especially to Mrs. Melissa Rasumssen who continues to help us out in so many ways!
Parent-Teacher conferences will be here before you know it, so please be looking for the confimation slip, which will be sent home with your student within the next week.
Picture re-takes are on Wednesday morning. Students need to bring back original pictures if wanting to re-take, or bring their money and form if they were absent that day.
Thanks for checking in. Please communicate with your student the best that you can about their daily classes. It shows them that you care and helps them to remember what they did that day, and reminds them about assignments that are due. Please encourage and remind them to use their planner that you paid for!
You can always call me to check up on your student's progress, or send me an e-mail!

Good stuff!
Dear OLL families,
We are working hard on Iowa Basic tests this week. Students should be getting good sleep and eating well so that they are at their best for the mental challenges that lie ahead! Snacks are welcome!
Grandparents day will be held this Wednesday! Please bring your family to celebrate this special day by joining us from 7:30-8:45 for breakfast in the social hall, and then Mass at 9:00 am. Grandparents and family members are welcome to visit classrooms after Mass if you choose.
Mid-terms were handed out last week and I'm looking for them to be signed and returned so that I know that parents are aware of student progress.
Thank you to our parent volunteers for driving us out the Maxwell Property (owned by Northland College) last Friday. We had a great "Environmental Awareness" day for grades 5-8! Special thanks to Mr. Ness for getting the permission and the keys to use the facility on the property, and to Mrs. Swiston for the majority of the planning for the outing! Please ask your student about the kinds of activities we did out there. We were lucky that it only sprinkled, otherwise, Mother Nature was kind to us!

Dear OLL families,
Just an update on mid-terms:
My daughter Molly ended up in the hospital from Monday night through today (Thursday), and I was unable to calculate mid-terms when I wanted to. I will be working on that tonight and hopefully will send them out tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 7th.) I appreciate your patience. Thank you for praying for Molly if you knew about her illness. Mr. Ness did a fantastic job filling in, as well as my subs Mr. Kroes and Mrs. Zifko. Many thanks to them and the students for their hard work this week.
Blessings,
Mrs. M
