Dear OLG Families,

Things are hopping around here! We had a beautiful Mass this morning where 6th graders and Fr. Jack reminded us of the power of renewal through words of Martin Luther King, Genesis, and all the life around us. Thank you 6th grade (and 1st grade partners) for you excellent leadership of our school this morning!

In order to help us renew and refresh, I ask you to keep an eye out for a second email coming later this evening with the link to our annual Parent Survey. This survey will be open for the next few weeks in order for you to provide feedback to our School Commission and myself on some of the recent endeavors we've embarked upon and to check the pulse on how we are doing as a community.

It is the new year, and a new set of Catholic School Week plans are developing. From some all-school assemblies to start each day, to some theme centric activities, many hands and feet are busy with preparations! Spreading the word of our great school at Open House on Sunday, Jan 28th is the best advertisement we can have. Remember the referral bonus program!

All parents, I look forward to seeing you tonight at 6:30pm for our Parent Internet Safety Presentation! If you are unable to join other parents tonight, then hopefully you're coming to the Trivia Night on Saturday evening.

Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer

Faculty and Staff Appreciation day for Catholic Schools Week is Tuesday January 30th!

The PO is collecting appreciation notes/tokens from your family or child(ren) to add to a goody bag for all OLG faculty and staff. Take time to write a thank you note or create a special token of appreciation (think Pinterest to get creative!) for the faculty and staff at OLG. Don't forget to include specialists like PE, Art, Music, Counselor, office and EDC staff!!

Fun example: 100 Grand candy bar with a note: you are worth 100 Grand! Thanks for all you do! Love, the xoxox Family

Notes must be turned into the front office no later than the end of the school day on Monday January 22nd. For a list of faculty and staff, please check out the OLG school website.
