Dear OLMC Community,

I hope your family had a blessed Thanksgiving. Please remember there is no school tomorrow and we will resume on Tuesday.

Mark your calendar for Wednesday, December 15. This is the evening of the Christmas program. The program will begin at 7:00pm. 

Thank you to everyone who supported the Dads’ Club fundraiser at Panda Express. Next month is Rubio’s.

The students in grades 6th through 8th will attend Reconciliation in the Church on Wednesday. Please remind your child that he/she needs to do an Examination of Conscience and need to know the Act of Contrition. 

Dear OLMC Community,

We will have a short week as we move into Thanksgiving. Monday and Tuesday are regular school days and then on Wednesday we will have STEM day. This is still a Mass day and the children will all be in full Mass uniform. We will have a 12:30 dismissal. School will resume on Tuesday, November 30th. 

Final Collection for the Thanksgiving Drive is Monday. 

There are no Learning Labs on Tuesday. 

Good evening,

The Dads’ Club Movie Night was a success. Thank you to all of the families who came out and enjoyed the movie. Unfortunately, my husband and I were under the weather, so I am sad we missed it! This is always so much fun!

The Book Fair was also a huge success. Funds raised through this event will go to purchasing new books for the library! Thank you to all of the parents who also supported the Teacher Wish Lists for books!

Dear Parents,

Thank you to everyone who helped support the Gala! It was such a wonderful evening! There are so many families who donated auction items, who helped solicit donations, who put the baskets together, set up, cleaned up, and of course attended the Gala on Saturday Night. I am truly overwhelmed by the generosity!

This week the children will have a half day on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (12:30 dismissal). They may wear a spirit shirt and their uniform bottoms all three days.

Dear OLMC Community,

Thank you to Home & School and all of the volunteers who made the Trunk or Treat such a great event! It is so nice to have these community events back at school. It was great to enjoy an afternoon in a safe environment sharing food and fellowship! I think the adults had just as much fun as the children! 

Tomorrow we will have Mass for All Saints’ Day. Please have your student wear his/her Mass uniform. Many of the young men are forgetting their pants and belts on Mass days. 

The first trimester will end this week. Report cards will be emailed home on Tuesday, November 10. 

Dear OLMC Community,

Our Trunk or Treat is quickly approaching as it is on Saturday, October 30th from 3-5. Please consider decorating a trunk and please donate a bag of candy. This is a really fun event and I hope to see you there!

Dear OLMC Community,

Thank you for your continued support for the Gala. The donations are so appreciated! We are still selling tickets to attend the event. Please purchase your tickets at Night to Soar Tickets.

Thank you to all who registered to decorate trunks and have donated candy. Unfortunately, at this time we have very few trunks. Your decorations do not have to be elaborate, just fun for the kids! Please consider decorating your trunk and if you have not donated your bag of candy, please do so!

Dear OLMC Community,

Thank you to the families who supported the Dads’ Club Fundraiser at Chipotle! Thank you also to all of the families who donated to the St. Francis Animal Drive. 

We are still collecting items for the Night to Soar Gala. The homeroom parents communicated a wish list for items. If you are able to donate, please do. This is our largest fundraiser this year. Thank you for your support. Please do not forget to purchase your Night to Soar Gala tickets! 

Dear School Families,

We have a very busy week ahead! 

Monday - we will celebrate the Feast of St. Francis with our Annual Pet Blessing at 8:30am. This is for preschool students through 4th grade. All of the information concerning the Pet Blessing was previously sent home. If you do not have a pet or your pet is crazy like mine, please send a stuffie to represent your pet. 

Tuesday - Dads’ Club Chipotle Fundraiser is from 4:00-8:00pm at the Baseline location. Pick up your scrip beforehand- it is on bonus for 15%! 

Dear OLMC Community,

This past Friday the children brought home the Night to Soar Gala packet. This is the Third Annual Event. In the past the Parish Festival has been the largest fundraiser for the school but we have not had this event the past two years and will not have one this Spring. Therefore, this is what we are hosting to help raise funds to assist in keeping the tuition low and hopefully to raise funds to purchase additional shade that we need around campus. We are asking all the families to help by donating to the auction and hopefully attending as this is a great night! You may purchase tickets at Night to Soar OLMC 2021.

Dear Staff,

The first trimester progress reports will be emailed home on September 22nd. These are emailed after 3pm. You have the ability as parents to see your child’s grades at any time through FACTS. In the Orientation packet you received on August 5th or 6th, there were directions as to how to set this up. If you did not do so and need the directions, they are included in the newsletter. If you have any questions, please email your child’s teacher. 

Dear OLMC Community,

Thank you to so many families who came out to enjoy the Back to School Cookout the Dads’ Club organized! This was such a great evening of fellowship. 

This week we began with the sports activities. It is so exciting to see so many children having fun playing and enjoying the games. Thank you to everyone who is volunteering to help whether it be to coaching, time keeping, refereeing, or something else, this would not be possible without your assistance! Please remind your children if they have an away game, they need to change quickly and get back into the pick up area. It will get easier as time passes! 

Dear OLMC Community,

I hope you are enjoying your long weekend! Thank you to all of the families who supported the Dads’ Club food fundraiser.

Upcoming this week:

Learning Labs will begin on Tuesday. The Learning Labs were started to assist students who needed additional support. If your child is in grades 4-8th and needs additional academic assistance, he/she may ask or be invited by the classroom teacher to work after school on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from 3:15 to 3:45.
