OLG Newsletter – May 14th

Congratulations to Shannon Hieger, 7th grade homeroom teacher and recipient of this year’s Distinguished Teacher/Staff Excellence Award. She will be traveling to the Holy Land for an immersion in the historical, cultural and religious realities of the region and to gain first-hand experiences to enhance the 7th grade curriculum, focused on the “Life and Times of Jesus Christ” and Catholic Social Teaching, as well as 8th grade discussions of world-wide current events. Thank you to everyone who nominated a teacher/staff member earlier this spring and to the generous donor who makes this enrichment opportunity possible.

Plans are in place to install new windows in the stairwells, at the ends of both hallways, and in the library this summer. Thanks to our awesome 2015 Auction Fund-a-Need donors for enabling this much-needed upgrade to happen.

Thank you to our hard-working Field Day volunteers; we’re looking forward to tomorrow!
