Principal's Letter
Dear OLG Families,

Our first major event of the fall is here: Artwalk, this Saturday night, after 5:30 Mass! Student artists, as well as school staff and artists from the community are showing their best. Come enjoy a social evening with other adults from school, parish, and the community! Tickets available at the door!
As we enter into October we have events helping us Grow Together in the Light, both in healing growth and also in thankfulness and blessing. The archdiocese and our parish have events this month centered on the challenges we face in our church today and how we heal together.

It's a busy week these next few days with 7th and 8th graders invited to the High School Information Night at Holy Rosary on Wednesday, Archbishop Sartain addressing prayers for healing on Thursday, and then on Sunday, October 7th we celebrate in our own parish the thankfulness and blessings of our staff and all educators with Catechetical Sunday and the formal ribbon cutting of our newly renovated ELC & music room! What a month... and we're just beginning. Read on for more events and info below.
Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer

FACTS to Know
What are incidental expenses?
Incidental expenses are expenses other than tuition/registration (e.g. milk, after school care, classroom auction fee, field trips, etc). 

Note: If you have not paid the $15 classroom auction fee and $30 EDC annual registration fee (if applicable to your family), these fees have been added to your FACTS account as incidental expenses. 

Auto-pay for incidental expenses
If you did NOT set up your FACTS account to auto-pay incidental expenses, the expense will NOT be automatically paid when due (like tuition) -- You will need to authorize payment for each incidental invoice before the due date . To make a payment, log in to  FACTS and choose  Make a Payment, or, E nroll in Auto Pay .
