Principal's Letter
Dear OLG Families,

Our Advent Season continues right along...This week our candle of "PEACE" was lit on Monday morning... read more here for your family reflections this week. Wednesday our annual School OLG Feast Day Celebration took place with fabulous leadership of our student council re-telling the story of Our Lady and Ms. Sager and our amazing 4th/5th grade choir! It was anything but peaceful at the beginning and end of mass with our Band and Choirs praising the Lord in musical joy!

Continue to bring in those food and dollars for the St. Vincent de Paul drive, and read on for more events in the school next week. Join in other advent events providing a connection with our greater OLG community. In this season of light, let us continue to grow together in Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love!
Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer
