Dear Parents and OLF Families,
Our 8th Graders are arriving back home tonight! After an exciting trip to the nation's capital, where the "Class of 2012" enjoyed numerous landmarks, events and interesting learning experiences.
It seems that many lessons were learned and much knowledge gained! We're proud of the way you represented our school!
Welcome Home!
 
Blessings,
