Hello OLOL Families,

I hope that you had a joyful Easter week-end.

I would like to begin by thanking you for your patience and support while I celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary. I didn't like being away from school for that long but Jennifer and I felt we needed to celebrate our 30 years as we have never taken a trip like this. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The big news this week is the NFL draft is coming to Green Bay. I've had discussions with Father Jim about the week and we both feel that we are far enough away that it won’t impact us. We have never had this experience which makes it a little bit of an unknown. We will be monitoring the situation all week and will make changes if need be.

Middle School Parents (Change for students who ride the bus on April 24 & 25)

• Due to a bussing decision at Lamers and approved by GRACE, there will be only one afternoon bus time (3:10PM) on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25.  
• All middle school students will be dismissed at their normal 2:42PM time, but bussing will not be available until 3:10PM. 
• The middle school students who plan to ride the bus on April 24 & 25 will be supervised by faculty and staff until dismissal. 

Our annual Bounce into Summer event is on the calendar. It will be Saturday, May 31st. School students will handle the liturgical parts of the Saturday 4:30PM Mass. Following mass, we will have bounce houses and food trucks on the playground. We are inviting all of our new OLOL families that will be joining us for the 2025-2026 school year. This is a great chance for you to introduce yourselves and meet our new families.

Speaking of the 2025-2026 school year we have 250 students enrolled for next year. Thanks to all that have helped us grow enrollment! We are so blessed.

Volunteers needed

The children’s games will start right after the 10:15 a.m. mass. One of the last pportunities to earn TSF hours for this school year. Kids can earn service hours.
