Our all-virtual Auction was a great success thanks to the many volunteers and the Parent Org leadership! We even were able to complete the transformation of the gym into Middle School Learning spaces right afterward so this week brought back all our middle school classes on campus. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who made this possible. And our online registration for 2021-22 school year has kicked-off! What a week it has been!

Next week holds a few special school-wide events, including Sunday's Rice Bowl meal event in the parish, "free-dress" Wednesday for those wearing green for St. Patricks' day, plus all-school Mass on Thursday morning (Livestream) hosted by our 4th graders!

Read on below for more registration information, auction report-out, our upcoming Parent & student Internet Safety course, and more!!! My M/W/F 2pm "Office Hour" (links on school calendar) continues to be open for further communication connections as we move ahead on our Lenten Journey.

Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer

NEW for 2021: Co-Ed Kickball! There will be teams of 10 players in 2 leagues (4th -6th "National League" and 7th-8th "American League"). 7-inning, 90 min games following World Kickball Association Rules. All participants receive an OLG team T-shirt (uniform) to keep! We need coaches too and they also get a shirt!

Have ya' heard? K-3rd grade Soccer is also back! K and 1st grade is coed 4v4. 2nd and 3rd grade is single gender (separate 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. ([email protected])

A virtual Track season will be happening this year as well (4th-8th). Enrollment is only $25 and open now. 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. However, CYO is still hoping to be able to offer the 8^th Grade Pentathlon, in person and split into two events (boys/girls) on Sunday, May 23^rd.

Lastly, CYO is offering virtual Parent Like a Champion Workshops. 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.
