Dear OLOL Families,

I would like to thank all grandparents and special guests that visited us last Wednesday as we celebrated Grandparents Day.  It was so special to see our students with family members who play such an important role in our student’s lives.    Education has always started with the family unit and the values that are instilled in us by our loved ones.  We are able to do special things in the classroom because of our tremendous families.  Thank you for all that you do for our students.

I would like to thank Tammy Ashauer and Becky Fourness for organizing Grandparents day.  They also had a great team of parents that helped make everything go smoothly.  Thank you.

I am very pleased to announce that we are going to be upgrading our cafeteria in about a month or so.   We had some remaining funds from last year’s Light up Lourdes so the Site Advisory Committee, teachers, and administration decided to purchase school lunchrooms tables for our cafeteria.  These tables will be more comfortable, ease congestion, and help our maintenance staff with cleaning.    This was made possible due to a successful Light up Lourdes event last year.  We are also investigating other possible upgrades that we can do here as we prepare for next year’s Light Up Lourdes.

We finished our Star testing last week.  I have been working with the staff over the last couple of years on making decisions that are connected to various data points.  The Star test is one piece of information that will help us make informed decisions in curriculum, teaching, and learning.  On Friday, our teachers will spend the afternoon putting together the data and then analyzing it into teaching and learning goals for the 2024-2025 school year.

Light Up Lourdes Need You!

The second annual Light Up Lourdes telethon will take place on Thursday, October 10th from 6-8 pm in the church social hall. Join us for food, socialization, and phone call making! Scripts will be provided for you! Click here to sign up for a night of fun!

Light Up Lourdes is looking for parents interested in selling raffle tickets to parishioners after weekly Masses. Each shift is 30 minutes in length. Sign up for as many shifts as you are willing to work! This is a great way to interact with the parishioners of our parish community! Shifts begin the weekend of September 21st and run through the weekend of November 9th. Sign up here to sell tickets after Mass!

As a friendly reminder, if a K-8 family sells one of their family's two raffle tickets to a parishioner after Mass, you will not be given your TSF hour, as selling two tickets is required for each K-8 school family.
