1.  The January Parent letter will be posted tomorrow  on the school website
       after lunch. The usual "Take Out" will be replaced by OSVkids for families
       to interact with their children using this monthly issue.  The booklets will
       be sent home with your youngest tomorrow, and virtual families may pick
       them up at your convenience.  (Faculty Room weekdays until 5:30 P.M.)
  2.  School pictures will be given out tomorrow and reminders about the
       retake day next Wednesday in the school gym.
  3.  Tomorrow is an "Appreciation" dress down day (not donation) to thank
       the students for their generous items for our "Operation Christmas
       Spirit!"
  4.  Grades 8 & 1 may order nuggets/fries ($3) tomo0rrow for their lunches on
       Monday.  
  5.  Brown Bag Express Update: Lunch orders from December 17th & 18th will
       be honored next Thursday and Friday for those students who placed orders
       then.  So Brown Bag Express orders will not begin until the following
       week, starting Tuesday, January 19th. (MLK holiday is that Monday.)
  6.  Continue to pray for our special intentions, especially for the repose of the
       soul of decorated Philadelphia Police Sergeant Joseph Youse who passed
       away at the age of 62, after significantly serving the city of Philadelphia in
       various capacities for 39 years.  He was greatly loved and admired and is
       survived by his wife Jeanine, children Kristin, Mariah, and Joseph and
       many devoted family members and friends.
 
 Quote:      "You never know when someone
                    May catch a dream from you.
                    You never know when a little song
                    Or something you may do
                    May open up the windows
                    Of a mind that seeks the light...
                    The way you live may not matter at all,
                    But you never know, it might!"
