$15 per week per family (or $780/year) help offset the actual cost of
tuition, which this year is over $4,000. Year end statements will be
sent in January to all school families.

RELATED CLOSING AND DELAYS.
If Oak Hills School District is closed we are closed. If Oak Hills is
on a delay, the Oak Hills busses will pick up late. If Oak Hills is on
a delay and Cincinnati Public Schools are open, the CPS busses will not
run.
5. UNIFORM
SIZING.
Unfortunately as students grow, their clothes don’t. Many students are
having a hard time keeping shirts tucked in and skirts at appropriate
lengths or have pants that are beginning to look like “crop pants.”
Please take a look at your child’s uniform and make any alterations
needed between now and when we get back from Christmas break.
6.
MUSIC
NEWS. As
part of our Christmas Concert, the students in grades 1, 3, and 4 took
part in a service project of giving. The students brought in items to
send to two of our St. Antoninus alum serving our country now. They
shared lots of things with them. Items such as games, toiletries, and
personal stationary made by the students were sent to the soldiers. In
total, 28 boxes were sent to Phillip and Sarah Klump to share with their
fellow soldiers. A total of 246 pounds of supplies were packaged. We
would like to thank the Janene and Mark Cappel Family for graciously
paying the shipping costs to send these items. What a beautiful
experience of giving to others who are giving for you.
