Principal's Letter
Dear OLG Families,

In our State of the School this week (see video recording here), we gave an update to where our school has been, and how we're moving forward this Spring, and looking ahead into next year. Enrollment is looking strong. New & existing families for next year will receive links to register this coming week, keep an eye out on your emails!

Note that many families in K-5 who have middle school siblings or have elected to remain remote have also be contacted in the coming week to verify any changes in their plans coming March 8th.

A reminder for anyone looking for volunteer hours, our volunteer webpage continues to be updated, as well as links in this newsletter! With both Auction and Middle School Return work this next week, there is much to do!

My M/W/F 2pm "Office Hour" (links on school calendar) continues to be open for further communication connections.
Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer

So far, we've racked up nearly 100 individual and household registrations – and counting! Don't wait to register – our two Silent Auctions open on Feb. 22 and this year's Live event kicks off on March 6 at 7 p.m. sharp. We encourage you to make a night of it via our Red Carpet Zoom event!

Every dollar we bring in helps us improve the education and overall school experience of our children. It's that simple, folks. We invite every single OLG family to register for the auction – and invite your family, friends, and networks to start bidding as well!

Counselor Corner
Hello Bulldog families,

K-3rd grade Soccer is back! K and 1st grade is coed 4v4. 2nd and 3rd grade is single gender (boys and girls teams) 6v6. Enrollment is open NOW! Teams need to be registered by March 26th and the season starts April 17. Hit us up if you have any questions about the season and the Covid protocols that will be in place. (olg.cyoathletics@gmail.com)

A virtual Track season will be happening this year as well (4th-8th). With the current restrictions in place (and assuming we will continue to be limited to smaller gatherings throughout the Spring season), CYO cannot offer in-person meets as usual. CYO is still hoping to still be able to offer the 8th Grade Pentathlon, in person and split into two events (boys/girls) on Sunday, May 23rd.

CYO is also offering Parent Like a Champion Workshops virtually. The workshop will be a requirement for all parents registering for CYO athletics and is an opportunity to build the best possible Catholic youth sports experience. Any coaches who have already completed the PLACT training are not required to attend the workshop.
