Dear OLG Families,
Welcome to this new version of our school newsletter. This has been optimized to read better for the more than 70% of folks who read regularly on a handheld device!
It is Thanksgiving time! A time to rest, relax and enjoy our families and all the blessings around us. Our school and parish offices will be closed Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving Break.
I am so thankful to be a part of this community with strong staff, amazing volunteers, and wonderful students. From the amazing 4th/5th Grade Choir
singing at the Seahawks, to growing outpouring of support for the
St. Vincent dePaul Food Drive led by the Student Council, to the great learning happening day-to-day in our classrooms, we are the
Hands and Feet of Christ at Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Yours in Christ,

School Fund Drive -- In Action
|
You are the reason our school exists. You are the reason we have excellent programs. Tuition dollars only covers part of the cost to educate. The
School Fund Drive
makes a huge difference in our ability to make above and beyond quality programs, accessible to all. Make your donation today to keep our doors open and welcoming to all!
|

Last week all school families were invited to participate in the school fund drive. When we have 100% support from our families and staff, it makes it that much easier to reach outside our school and bring in more substantial funds. This week parishioners and other community donors are receiving their invitation to participate. Spread the good news of what OLG School is doing!
If you have already made a donation, thank you for your support. Your generosity and spirit help guide our youth into tomorrow and grow the next generation of leaders. If you have not yet made a gift, please prayerfully consider what amount makes sense for your family and pledge accordingly.
Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Pray for Us!
