Hey everyone!!

I want to thank everyone for the kind words about our OLH-FSA website.  I also want to assure those out there who have given critiques that I can take it.  This is not “MY” website, but your website.  You the Parents can help shape this beast.

How can you do it?  How about becoming active in our OLH-FSA!! Our next meeting is on Saturday November 15th @ 10:00 AM in the OLH School Library.  We could sure use some more parents to help our organization.  I have been attending for the last year, and so far I am the only “GUY” who shows up with regularity.

This is not to say that the Dad’s don’t help out with the school functions, they do as is evident by the parade, our sports teams, the Boy Scouts etc.  But it would sure be good to have another “Male” voice in some of these meetings as well to give ideas and suggestions.  If anything I can argue with you about football or Baseball. (I am just getting into Hockey, I am from CA, not a real Hockey State!).

So hope to see you on November 15th!!

So on to the news!!

  1. Hi Darrell-

    I finally got the chance to see your website. I liked what you did with the Book Fair. The pictures of the books that were reccommended by the rep were cool. I wish we had that flexability with our school website. It takes too long to post anything.

    Thanks for your support.

    Amy Steffen
