December 15, 2022 Dear Parents,
Family Movie Night tomorrow at 6:00: The Christmas Chronicles. $6 adults; $3 children (price includes snacks).
OLC Christmas Food Drive ends on Monday: We are conducting a canned food drive for needy Cicero residents as a Christmas service project. Have your children give donations to their teachers no later than Mon., Dec. 19.
This year all boys’ basketball players and all the cheerleaders will need to have a sports physical to play. Our 6th graders already have a current physical on file, so they are exempted. Basketball and cheerleading permission forms were sent home this week; they are due by Jan 9.
We will have a school Christmas Posada at 6:30 PM in church on Wed., Dec. 21. Students in grades PK - 8 will take part in the performance; refreshments and piñatas afterward in Halpin Hall.
Art classes conducted by teaching artists from the National Museum of Mexican Art are going great (for students in grades 4 - 8; see photo). We will have an exhibition after Christmas vacation.

Girls should avoid up-dos, turtleneck sweaters, or high neck dresses. Keep in mind slacks and skirts may show in some posing. All students should avoid wearing shades of green as students will be photographed against a green screen. There is no retake date.
