Principal's Letter
Dear OLG Families,

I'm looking forward to seeing many of you this Sunday, January 29, at our OPEN HOUSE kicking off our Catholic Schools Week celebration of all the wonderful learning and experiences here at OLG and across the nation! Please do this (before Sunday):
  1. Provide input to our school and parish life through our quick 4 minute school family survey!
  2. Invite others to come join you at Sunday's Open House!
  3. Share on social media and through the grapevine the wonderful teachers and experiences your family is having this year!

We have many applications in already for new students and I'm excited to share our Preschool, PreK classes for Fall are looking very full! Our Kindergarten class is also filling quickly with only a few spots remaining. Other grades are also showing interest and we'll be finalizing acceptance in the first weeks of February. This is is an amazing time to show friends and neighbors the welcoming community we hold dear, the amazing work all our classes have done in academics and the arts, and especially the 7th and 8th grade-led tours and presentations. Our school is one where we welcome from all backgrounds, and learn, form, and grow in community together.

P.S. Don't forget noon dismissal tomorrow, Jan 27th
Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer
