Notes from the Teacher:


-Owensboro Catholic Football Spirit Night and PTO Tailgate Party is scheduled for September 19th on the front lawn of Kentucky Wesleyan College.  Students may purchase Spirit Shirts to wear to the Tailgate Party. Orders are DUE by August 29th. NO LATE ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED.  Show your OC spirit, support the football team, and order a shirt today!

-No birthday parties are permitted at the K-3 Campus. Due to the increase in food allergies, and in order to ensure the safety of all students absolutely NO food may be brought in for a child’s birthday. Birthday invitations are not to be brought to school and distributed unless all members of the same gender in the classroom are invited.

 -All snacks brought to school, must be individually wrapped OR in an individual baggie. Students MAY NOT bring in snacks for anyone other than themselves. In order to protect all children with food allergies, we ask that parents refer to the www.snacksafely.com website to find nutritional and safe snacks. Please do NOT send in snacks with peanut butter or peanuts in them.
