Dear OLG Families,
Our school-wide Advent services continue this week in Peace, with special Guadalupe Pageant at this Friday's All School Mass (livestream tomorrow @ 9am).
For a more intimate gather, consider joining Fr. Kevin at his fireside this next week or over the Christmas Break. Room is available (12/17, 1/9, & 1/15). We want to hear what you value most about OLG and your hopes for the near and longer-term future of OLG!
This week and the next our Student Council and SVdP continue our long tradition of our December Food Drive. Please remember to drop-off a donation either at the parish or school office, or on Saturday at the "Feast Day" drop-in event!
Monday, Dec 14th our Preschool, PreK, and Kindergarten students return for a week of in-person classes. CDC quarantine protocols have changed recently (read update here) but schools remain in safe standing as the state and public health recognize all the work our teachers and families are doing to maintain an environment of safe learning. Thank you for doing everything in to keep you, your family, and our whole community safe!

Yours in Christ,
Anton Kramer

2021 Annual OLG Auction- Full Steam Ahead!
And the 2021 Auction Fund-a-Need is...
...bathroom updates! Old fixtures that don't work, doors that don't lock, dented metal stalls, bubblegum pink/baby blue tiling from the 1960s – sound familiar?
We have the opportunity through this year's Auction Fund-a-Need to update the bathrooms our children use every day. The more we raise, the more we can do – imagine being able to surprise our kids in the Fall with bright, modern bathrooms on every floor (and fully-locking stalls).
Also, don't forget to reserve your custom OLG Glassybaby! Parents, teachers, and all friends of OLG are invited to reserve "Midnight" votives or rockers (rocks glasses) or "Splash" drinkers (stemless wine glasses) – all custom-etched with OLG's official school logo – here! Cost is $100, but you don't pay until Auction night, March 6th. We're estimating 40% of each purchase goes directly toward our fundraising goal of $125,000!
.
Reserve your custom-etched glassybaby votive, drinker, and/or rocker here.
