Letter from Principal Young

Dear OLOL Families,


The 2022-2023 school year is here!  The OLOL staff  are very excited to welcome the students, both new and old back to school.    Our hope is that you are excited about the school year and ready to get involved in every aspect of OLOL.


Currently our enrollment is at 196 students fully enrolled.  I’m expecting three more students to complete enrollment to finish enrollment this week.  I’m confident that when students come walking into the doors we will be at 200 students.  I would like to personally thank Fr. Jim Baraniak for embracing “Lourdes 200” and working extremely hard for us to reach our goal.  There were also numerous staff and parents that also embraced this challenge and did everything that could for us to reach 200.  I would like to recognize them but I’m afraid I would leave someone out.  If you helped us; thank you!!


We have two important events prior to school starting on Wednesday, August 24th.  New Family Orientation is Thursday, August 18th (6:30 - 7:30).   Our preschool and kindergarten team ask that this be a parent-only event as looks of important information is shared.  They also ask that even if your son or daughter was at OLOL that you still attend.  OLOL Back-to-School Night is Monday, August 22nd from 4:00 - 6:30.  Students and parents will be going on an OLOL scavenger hunt that will help educate both students and parents all the OLOL has to offer.


One of the new initiatives that we are excited about at Our Lady of Lourdes is Project Lead the Way, a new science resource that we will be implementing.   Project Lead the Way approach is to have students learn science concepts using more hands-on activities.   Please be sure to ask your children about it.


The OLOL staff came back on Monday and are quite busy getting ready for the school year.  In addition to meetings, the staff have been involved in training for Project Lead the Way, a spiritual retreat at Our Lady of Good Help, Fundations training, and GRACE content and grade level meetings.  We are ready to go.


The OLOL staff and myself are fully aware of the responsibility that we have to educate our students both academically and spiritually.  We take this responsibility very seriously.  We welcome your input and support.  I say this all the time but I know it is true, the best schools are ones where administration, staff, parents, and students all work together to bring out the best of every stakeholder of OLOL.


“The root of education is better but the fruit is sweet” - Aristotle


The Lourdes Way,

NEW for 2022-2023 -- GRACE Family Mass

New this year: A GRACE Back-to–School Mass for all GRACE families and employees.  

The mass will be held on August 30th at 6:00PM at Nativity Parish in Ashwaubenon.  We would love to have many of our OLOL families attend.


OLOL has two parts in the school mass: 

  • Read the responsorial psalm
  • Carry in the OLOL School banner at the beginning of Mass. 


Please let Mr. Young know if your son or daughter would like to participate in the school mass. 


We hope to see you all there!



OLOL Mandarin Program

Last week, Mrs. Han informed me that she was resigning her position as Mandarin teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes School.  


We would like to thank Mrs. Yan for the years of service that she has given to OLOL. We will miss her and wish her good luck with her future endeavors. 


We are searching for a replacement, however, this is a difficult position to hire.  My goal is to find a candidate that can work with our middle school students that have started on the World Language - Mandarin track.  We will most likely not have Mandarin at the elementary level.

Our Lady of Lourdes Facebook Page By Parents (For Parents)


A group of parents have created a Facebook group for OLOL parents. It is called OLOL Catholic School DePere - Parents. 


It is a private Facebook group and is being administered by parents. You will need to be approved to join it, as an OLOL parent. 


The hope is that parents can use this page as a way to ask some simple questions quickly, share pictures and things going on at school.


If you have questions or concerns about school, please contact OLOL staff and administration; not this Facebook page. 


A priority of Fr. Jim's Lourdes 200 is building a strong community and this Facebook page is geared toward that goal.
