Musical Notes
Our junior high musical, Godspell, Jr. is Thursday, May 9 and Friday, May 10. Both performances start at 7:00 PM in the Oldenburg Academy auditorium.
Junior High students should not arrive before 6:30 for their performance night. We do ask that everyone has arrived by 7:00 to limit disruptions in our audience. Junior high students will report to the OA gymnasium, wearing their costumes.
Due to construction at Oldenburg Academy, we are asking that those who are able park at Holy Family Church and walk to the auditorium. There is street parking available, but spots are limited as the parking lot is currently unavailable. Please leave the closer spots for those unable to walk the distance. Thank you for your help!

Field Day info
Parents please don't forget to sign up for FD this year. We are in need of 3-5 workers, and few others also. Thanks so much for all your hard work. You should also have received an email from Joan with a supply list. If you can't help that day, but would like to donate something to help the day go smoother, that would be wonderful.
Please contact Erin Trenkamp with any questions, as she is the "go to" person for Field Day. etrenkamp@st.louisschool.org. Thanks!

Book Fair
I want to thank all the mom's that were able to come out and enjoy breakfast with their children during Muffins with Mom's. A great time was had by all! I also want to say a great big "THANK YOU" to all my cafeteria helpers and the moms and students that helped run my registers. Without all of your help, I would not be able to put on such a great book fair.
Also I want to say thanks to McDonalds in Batesville for donating the sugar for our coffee during Muffins with mom's.

St Louis Track & Field Results
St Louis Track & Field returned to South Ripley for a 4-way meet with Shawe and Jac-Cen-Del on May 1. The weather was ominous, and rain poured down on the team as they departed for the meet. However, it was still dry in Versailles, so the meet went on. It would not last, as the ongoing threat of rain and local lightning halted the events before completion.
St Louis did earn some ribbons and personal records before the lightning came. (Overall points and team rankings were not tallied for the weather-shortened competition.)
