Last Day (Wednesday, July 30)

to order additional t-shirts, uniforms and OLOL apparel.

You may order additional t-shirts for your student, friends, family members, etc. at a cost of $10.00 per t-shirt. Any additional shirts must be ordered through this link:  https://idmarketing.chipply.com/ourladyoflourdes/?action=viewall by Wednesday, July 30th to ensure pick up at back to school night. Ordering through the link will remove the need to collect money at back to school night and ensures we have an accurate number of spirit shirts available for students and staff members. 

Are you looking to order quality uniforms for your child(ren) or OLOL apparel for yourself? The OLOL uniform/apparel shop is now open through Wednesday, July 30th. Orders can be placed by visiting the following website: https://idmarketing.chipply.com/ourladyoflourdes/?action=viewall. Orders placed by July 30th will be available for pick up at back to school night on August 21st. Many new items have been added this year, so be sure to check out the apparel store as you prepare for the beginning of the school year! The apparel items are shown on the site without the new OLOL logo, but all items will be printed with the logo on the upper left chest of the item. All uniform apparel worn at school, by students, must be in the colors of navy blue, red, or white.



If you have any questions regarding the spirit shirts or the OLOL uniform shop, please feel free to reach out to Christina Spierings at christina.spierings@gmail.com.

From Mrs. Lewis,

We have been asked about the possibility of the school providing a choir of students for the Mass on the Grass - our Mass of Thanksgiving for all that has been provided for our school, especially this summer. 

Before we can commit to this, we need to know how many students would commit to being part of the choir. 

Please fill out this very short form ASAP if your child is interested in participating, especially if you can also commit to being available. Mass is at 10:15AM on August 24. There will be a required rehearsal on that same morning, starting at 9:15AM. 

All OLOL students are invited, though older students are especially needed for their leadership.

Thank you! ~Mrs. Lewis
