Principal’s Corner
November 2009
Give thanks to the Lord, who is good, whose love endures forever. Psalm 118:29 Dear Parents/Guardians,
The days are shorter, the leaves are colorful, and the temperatures are cooler. We are already in the month of November and in our second quarter of the school year. It has been a very busy, but productive school year so far.
We are starting this month with a busy First Friday. We will be celebrating All Saints Day, and our elementary students will be researching and representing their favorite saints. Join us for mass. First Friday masses are always so inspirational, and this one will be even more as we have our “parade of saints”. On Friday evening, the Knights will be holding their fish fry after the 5:30 mass, and our Home and School will be sponsoring a fun Family Bingo. All donations will benefit our Spanish program.
On November 19th we will be hosting a kindergarten open house for prospective students. If you know of anyone who should be getting an invitation to this, please notify Teresa Hennen. This open house is to acquaint new parents with our school and program. They will be invited to visit the kindergarten classrooms, tour the school, and join us for lunch where they will have an opportunity to get all their questions answered.
Our last day before the Thanksgiving Holidays is November 24. Because the Bishop has given us an extra day off, we will not return until Tuesday, December 1. When we come back, we will only have 2 ½ weeks of school before our Christmas Holidays and these 2 ½ weeks will also end the second nine weeks or the first semester.
Time is flying by. Please help us to help your children be successful. Frequent ParentsWeb and our website (www.myolph.com) to keep updated on your children’s progress and on the events and happenings at school.
This is the month for reflection and giving thanks. I am so thankful to be here at O.L.P.H. and to have the support of such a wonderful school community. Without you we could not do what we do, and because of you we are improving all the time.
Have a wonderful month and holiday.
Jeri McInturff
