Our 2019-2020 Student Council!!!
|
|
Dear OLG Families,
Here we are in the final days of this school for the year, yet I find myself with so much to say about exciting new developments looking ahead! This week our 2nd-7th graders voted on their 2019-2020 Student Council (Pictured above, not pictured: Kendyll King). I don't think I've every heard such an excellent set of speeches by students! From dreams and jokes to caring for the poor and marginalized, we heard it all. We are going to have a mighty student council next year! Mr. Casey and Ms. Hobbs are excited to be working with this amazing student leadership team over the next 12 months! Congrats to our Student Council for next year, and all the outstanding candidates!

Tomorrow at 9am on our final day of school, we'll be specially honoring
Fr. Jack and
Mr. Santos. We say goodbye as a school to both of these dedicated ministers / teachers / leaders / friends of our children, families, and peers. They both have been truly integral to our growth as a community, and have set us all up for success as we move ahead. We look forward to all things new as we continue to
Grow in the Light of Christ. Save the date for
June 30th for Fr. Jack's final goodbye BBQ party :)
Up ahead for us this summer is installments of new members of our community,
Fr. Kevin Duggan and
Ms. Kelly Smale. Fr. Kevin's bio was handed out at mass last weekend, but if you missed it, better read it
here! He'll begin with us during the weekend of July 7th at masses, but we are looking forward to officially welcoming Fr. Kevin to the parish in several events this summer: a nice informal
Pancake Breakfast on July 21st, and the formal installation on August 4th! Ms. Smale's bio will be up on the school website shortly and of course, she and Fr. Kevin are sure to be at our
Supply Drop-off Night on Wednesday, Aug. 28th, kicking-off our new school year! First official day of school is Tuesday, Sept. 3rd! Have a happy and safe summer!!!
