Principal's Letter
Dear OLG Families,

Tonight is our annual Soup Supper where our school staff serves you and all friends and parishioners!!! Join us in the Walmesley Center starting at 5:30pm... you can even bring your own bowl and spoons if you'd like (and don't forget that "Rice Bowl" for CRS)!

Tomorrow is a little bit of Spirit Wear on our 11am Stations of the Cross & Noon-dismissal Good Friday. More notes and details as you read-on this newsletter. And then Saturday is the egg hunt for young families!

One other note is our largest spring event, the Loop-the-Lupe' , has discounted pricing thru Apr 17, so don't delay! New this year is an "elite wave" and a "family wave" to give each special features.  All the other favorites are back – 5K fun/walk, Senior Saunter and Youth Dash. Want even more fun? Join us June 3rd and get a jump start on volunteer hours for 2023-24; it is a fun event and something for everyone in the community!

Yours in Christ,

Anton Kramer

April 29th 4-6pm @ School Hall
Limited Spaces Available
As we celebrate reaching our Academic Excellence Initiative goal of $50,000 this week, let's now all turn our focus towards our Annual School Fund. The Annual School Fund drives support to our Tuition Assistance programs, as well as special projects and growing our endowment to continue to increase accessibility for all.

While our annual school auction was a great success, we still love YOUR HELP bridging the significant gap between the ever-increasing need for tuition assistance and the funds that are available. Share the news of OLG with family and friends.

Every dollar counts. Even a small gift can make a difference! 
TOGETHER we can make OLG as accessible as possible to our community! 

Thank you for your generosity!
