A Message from Mrs. Anderson

Dear Families,
Sunday is Palm Sunday. It is always so beautifully celebrated at Our Lady of Grace. The procession begins outside the church by the statue of Mary. All process into the church setting the tone of the holiness of the coming week. This is a wonderful learning experience for children of all ages. What better way to begin Holy Week than by attending Mass on Palm Sunday with your family? As Isaiah said, “The Master God, has given me a well-taught tongue, so I know how to encourage tired people.”
Prayers of Thanks:
To our WCEA team our thanks and prayers go out to you as you travel back to your schools. We were blessed to have such wonderful, caring people to work with as we completed our Self Study.
Core Value of the Week: Love
-
We follow Jesus’ Golden Rule and we treat others as we want to be treated.
SCRIP Reminder:
Families have until April 30th to meet this year's scrip requirement.
Every Wednesday is Waste Free!
Please pack a lunch with containers you can take back home to eliminate as much waste as possible at OLG.
