Dear Parents and Parish Families,
It is my great privilege to join the OLF Family and to serve as your new Principal. Thank you for the warm welcome during these summer days of transition! Upon my arrival, I had an opportunity to meet with my faculty, some students and many parents. Your kindness and support said it all: "We are one OLF family, one team, one body of Christ!"
 While my staff and I are busy preparing for the new school year, I hope that you are able to spend time with your children! Vacation is a time for fun, friends, family and more! During summer time, our childrens' playful explorations, travels and games are to be encouraged! Our students have a great opportunity to augment their love for learning outside of the classroom!
When you stroll down the beach together, stop to marvel at God's intricate design of every seashell, for example. When flying to your destination, defeat the long flight time by sharing your knowledge of travel throughout the centuries...or explain the laws of physics, that allow you to float through the Heavens! At the grocery store, have your child estimate the cost of your purchase before you check-out at the counter or have them verify the savings at home, using mental math.
There are so many simple ways to enrich our daily vacation experience and have fun at the same time. If your child doesn't want to write or record in their diary, have them paint what they experienced, instead! If your children do not want to read a hardcover book, have them listen to a story, or allow them to touch the story by playing with your Kindle.
Whatever you are doing together as a family, or wherever you are traveling during this vacation, God is always with you, watching over you! May your vacation time together be an opportunity to recharge your body, spirit and soul! I pray for your safe travels.
See you in August!
Mrs. Beate Nguyen, M.A.Ed.
