Dear OLG Families,
We had a very nice Mass today focused on the Wisdom of the Cross. In making our preparations for Service Day on Saturday, we have an excellent opportunity to model that wisdom through our actions by making one last donation to the
Care Kits, or to drop in on Saturday to help out in the Walmesley Center. I look forward to seeing many of you at Fr. Jack's 9am blessing of the service day to kick things off!
Tonight, take the night off from cooking and join other OLG families at the
Great American Diner, where we are getting a 10% on all sales tonight!
So much other activities going on around here with build-up for Cultural Night (April 28th), Jog-a-thon (5/4), Talent Show (forms due tomorrow), Band and Music performances, and soon ACRE and MAPs testing! With all the rush of May's events, please take time to recognize a staff member for the
Distinguished Teacher/Staff Award. A separate Constant Contact invite will come to you later this evening to invite you to nominate a staff member. See the link for examples of recent awards and how this funded item enhances our school through an exceptional staff development opportunities!

Yours in Christ,
