Dear OLOL Families,

It has been wonderful to see so many families attending conferences and connecting with teachers. I have had some great conversations with parents who are deeply invested in their children’s education. We are also tremendously grateful for the meal that was provided by the parents. The teachers and I truly appreciated this thoughtful gesture!

If you attended conferences last night, I hope you had the opportunity to see our new book vending machine. This was an incredibly generous donation from another book-loving supporter of OLOL. The vending machine will provide students with the opportunity to choose a book when they meet a reading goal they have set for themselves. We hope this will not only encourage a love of reading but also help our students take ownership of their learning and celebrate their accomplishments.

We are blessed to have so many people investing in our students and helping us nurture a lifelong love of reading and learning.

With gratitude and blessings,

Jessica Nejedlo

Principal - OLOL
