Dear OLG Families,
Our season of LENT continues... and it has been a busy season so far! Our prayer services each Monday morning in the school hall, and smaller student reflections on Wednesdays on each floor of the school have been a calming time for students and staff alike. We hope to continue these school-wide prayerful moments but as conditions change around our community public health, then we are making adjustments too. You'll notice some cancellations in our calendar and on the parish events as well.
Many families were in attendance last night at our
State of the School and participated in some coronavirus updates and discussion around our parish in relation to Kennedy High School from Fr. Kevin and myself. Fr. Kevin has sent
this letter to parishioners and will also have it available in the bulletin this weekend. Other topics at the
State of the School included academic highlights, an auction report (see below), and our financial state plus tuition rates for next year. Interspersed were some preliminary data from the annual parent survey. Our annual
Parent Survey gives each family a voice in things upcoming at our school and will remain open for one more week. Over 90 people have responded now... thank you for your time and thoughtfulness!
If you missed the
State of the School or have further questions, I am happy to meet with you and answer any questions you might have.
This time of year also kicks-off our annual registration time frame. Below are links for re-registering for next year. Any family who has applied for tuition assistance should have a letter from Fulcrum already, and will be hearing more regarding OLG Tuition Assistance before the March 24th re-registration deadline.

Safe Parking Update
Things continue to be busy as we prepare for guests. The port-a-potty has motion-sensor puck lights installed and regular cleaning service has started. The hut now has a table, chairs, puck lights, a heater, a coffee pot, fridge, and a microwave as well as some flyers about upcoming events, a little welcome basket, etc. The keycode pad is on the door so it’s now accessible to volunteers. We have some signs up and the keyless entry for the basement has been installed. Our volunteers are ready to go. All we need is the people, whom we hope will have arrived by the time you read this. Thank you to Sal for all his hard work! If you are interested in volunteering with this program, contact
