Dear OLG Families,
Spring MAPS testing is almost wrapped-up, and so is all the amazing performing arts productions of this month!! Between last week's Band Fest, Matilda, our Spring Concert last night, and our 2nd graders in their first school Mass this morning ... it has been a whirlwind and amazing showcase of talent. As Fr. Kevin brought the teachings of our greatest instructor all the way from Greece, Corinth, and ancient times to our own neighborhoods of White Center, West Seattle, Delridge, Burien, etc... it is in our actions that we bring the joy and good news of the commandment of love for others. It is not simply our words... we live out our call in the world through our actions!
We have many actions in motion right now!!! Our Bingo Night tomorrow is just one action of community and support of all. One note of action and change I sent earlier today to our incoming Kindergarten students is a change for Ms. Simpson taking on a new role next year... we have a Kindergarten teacher opening for our Fall. I am excited to let everyone know that we also have already taken action and have 3 candidates for this position we are in communication with! We hope to have this hire completed before the end of the month.
More Action? You bet! Our 6th graders are headed off to Outdoor Education at Camp Hamilton next week as another testament of action and commitment from our educators as well as our parent chaperones volunteering their extra time and energy in the love of our environment and community around us! Way to go Bulldogs! Read on for many other news of actions you can take to help grow our community and keep OLG Guadalupe Strong!

Yours in Christ,
