Principal's Letter
Dear OLG Families,

Happy Thanksgiving! I take a moment to share my thanks for all that Guadalupe does " as a sacramental community united by the Holy Spirit!" You can see in the pictures above what our recent 7th grade fieldtrip accomplished at SvDP, and below in our calendar of events all that is to come! Our teachers and staff are truly incredible at forming our students with you as partners in this great adventure of education! Thank you for your Many Parts you and your family bring to our One Body. Continue to share the good news at 10 am Thanksgiving Mass, around the Thanksgiving table, and on #OLGGives Giving Tuesday when each class shares their service story.

Next week Advent begins on Sunday, Dec 1st. Monday morning we will have our school prayer service in the school hall and all families are welcome to start the day with us as well!
Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer
