Happy Easter! Our 4th grade class did an amazing job preparing and participating in our All-School Mass this morning. Fr. Kevin reminded us that all of us can be "lifted-up" by each other just as Christ's rising up has brought us all new life!

Our "Bulldogs of the Month" were honored from all classes. 8th Grade also has special notes in this newsletter on their Matilda snack shack starting Friday, plus the volleyball play-off game! We have amazing students here at OLG and we continue to show it in so many ways. Read on for news of the Battle of the Books, our upcoming Talent Show, and CYO news plus Loop-the-Lupe'. Become talented yourself with just a few days remaining to signup for the Charcuterie Night (Sign up here).
