Capturing The Moment
“Circle of Life” – Eighth Grade is rehearsing for “The Lion King,” our spring musical. We’ll have at least three performances:
Tuesday, May 16 at 1:45 p.m. (Student Matinee)
Tuesday, May 16 at 7 p.m. (evening show for community, 6:30 curtain call)
Wednesday, May 17 at 10 a.m. (simplified performance at Providence Mt. St. Vincent)
Eighth graders are in the midst of presenting their Juan Diego Project Research Seminars. It’s a unique opportunity for students to learn from each other. Each student designs a seminar where they present attributed data and analysis, visuals, graphs and a research thesis based on their JDP. They also lead class discussions and activities during their seminar which commonly lasts anywhere from 25-40 minutes. It’s a tall order, but OLG kids can do it!
Because sometimes a rainbow just shows up outside my classroom window.
We got our robes a little early for our performance prayer of the Mary Dance during the Winter Concert. Some students wanted to start a gospel choir. Don’t think we won’t do it!
Merry Christmas! and Go Hawks!!!

We began our school year with an inter-grade level meeting to set up our middle school unity. We discussed how we can live out our school-wide learning expectations on colorful posters. Fun way to start! (9/2/2016)
