2015-16 Distinguished Teacher/Staff Award Nomination
The annual OLG Distinguished Teacher/Staff Award recognizes one teacher or staff member for excellence. That teacher or staff person receives a stipend for summer travel and pledges to bring the fruits of that trip back into the classroom or school.
This is a great opportunity to recognize an OLG teacher or staff member who stands out in your child’s life and makes a significant positive difference through his or her educational ministry. Thank you for taking time to recognize excellence at OLG!
Nominees must have worked a full year to be eligible. Nominations are due by Sun., March 13th at 11:55 pm.

Student Council Lenten Care Kit Drive
The Student Council is organizing a Lenten drive to collect supplies for homeless individuals in our community. Check out the
flyer for a list of requested items. Sample-sized items are best, as the kits need to fit in a plastic bag.

No School – Regional In-service Day on March 18th
Please remember that we have no school on Friday, March 18th for the Archdiocesan Regional In-service Day. OLG is excited to host a workshop with Erik Palmer, a dynamic speaker on the topic of teaching speaking and listening skills. I am proud of the intentional and effective work that our teachers do in this area and look forward to gaining additional ideas from a national expert!
