Dear OLG Families,
Curriculum Nights are over, you've all had a chance to meet your
child's teacher, and we are ready to "
Grow in the Light of Christ
" this school year! Last week I mentioned growing pains and this week I'm happy to announce that we've overcome one of those pains...Milk! Yes, we got past the closure of our old supplier, the regional Dairigold woes, and we've finally got
milk on the way! Hooray!
Yesterday all our students were happily smiling for the camera for picture day... keep an eye out for
picture retake day coming soon if your child was absent, or had one of those really bad hair days! Other reasons to smile and share the light with eachother is in our newest event,
Artwalk, the blessing of all educators & school renovations on
Catechetical Sunday, and of course all the many opportunities we have to work, learn, and play together! We are truly growing together as a community!
Thank you all who had a chance to share your input to the
greater parish community last weekend. If you didn't have a chance to
do the survey in the pews, the link below should take you to an online version where you can share your thoughts on our community's
Liturgy (prayer, services, reflections),
Music (both in school and in church),
Lay Ministry (such as parish staff and teachers), and more! The strength of your response in this survey helps to grow our OLG community in the direction we want moving forward! Help carry this light;
Carry the Torch Forward.

Yours in Christ,
