Dear OLG Families,

This week things shook-up a bit for us here at OLG and beyond... we practiced our earthquake preparedness both in classrooms and out at recess. This was an excellent extension of last week's professional development day with staff. Click through to www.shakeout.org to continue the conversation at home with your family.

We're also shaking things up with the new Beer & Brats event this weekend; its going to be a beautiful afternoon with music and plenty of adult social fun. Join us for this event, stopping by the Ministry Fair with the church this weekend after all masses, or next week at our All School Mass. Come and celebrate with all our community as we Grow in the Light of Christ together!

Note next Friday (10/26) is a half-day for students as staff review MAPs and other assessment data in preparation for Fall Conferences. EDC is available for anyone (signups here).

Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer

Hearing and Vision screenings will be conducted this Friday, Oct. 19th and Nov. 2nd for grades K-8. If you can volunteer to assist Oct. 19th or Nov 2nd, please contact Shelley Bradley

El Día de los Muertos, which is celebrated two days on November 1 ^st to November 2 ^nd and preparations start on October 31 ^st.

It is a time when people remember their loved ones who have passed away. It is believed that on those days the souls of the dead return to visit.
