8th graders do a comparative analysis of characters in the novel Chains

We are breathing deeply this week as the smoke clears and we move through our third week of school! Half our classes have now attended a "daily mass" as well as our first-day-all-school "Mass of the Holy Spirit". This weekend You're all invited to our parish's first "Family Faith-Open House". Look closely at this Kindergarten pictureto see the church complete with the congregation and Fr. Kevin (in liturgical appropriate green)! Below is much more news of school and parish life:

As we Breathe Life into our school year together, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU on behalf of all the staff for the engaged, active, wonderful families we have here at OLG. You participation and interest in all things aspects of the Guadalupe community (from soccer coaching... to recess ... to Sunday School... to Auction... to Thriftway Reciepts... to Loop-the-Lupe'... to Mass.. to...) is the reason OLG exists and thrives. I'm excited for our year ahead together!

New year, new roles....Breath of Life

A weekly introduction of OLG staff and the fresh life each is bringing this year!

As many of you know, Janet McClelland, our ELC Director, is adding a new role as Vice Principal of Student Life this school year. In line with accreditation goals, Mrs. McClelland will be working closely with Principal Kramer as part of our administrative team to support students and families. As the "Veep", it is a goal that Mrs. McClelland will also be working closely with Parent Org. to strengthen the volunteer leadership that makes our school great... and affordable to all! Contact Janet if you'd like to help her, and all our fellow families out, with Parent Org fun for the year!.

Also a reminder from last week: seeking MS Instructor, flexible hours; the job posting here, or contact Mr. Kramer directly.

For those new to OLG, the Jog-A-Thon is a fun way for the kids to get moving and also help raise money for the school at the same time! On Friday Sept 30th every student will participate with their class in either walking or running laps at the Walt Hundley playfield.

Our theme this year is "Good Vibes and High Fives". Read More

The Jog-A-Thon is the second biggest Fundraiser of the Parent Organization. The goal is to raise $25,000. We're getting excited, so let’s turn our energy into dollars.
