Welcome to 2012 at Our Lady of Peace School! 
 
A lot is happening this first week of the New Year! The students dove right back into classes - shaking off the mental dust-bunnies of winter break! We welcome two new staff members, and said goodbye to two wonderful people of our school - Good Luck Chris and Josh!
Class Volunteers

Recess Volunteer

A parent volunteer for recess is needed on Wednesdays.  

Thank you to all the current parent volunteers! We appreciate the work of all the wonderful parent volunteers that help create such a wonderful environment for the students to learn and grow!  

 

Science Fair Judges

It's science! Experimentation, Invention, Research, and Innovation need your review!

Science Fair Judges are needed for February 2nd from 12:45-2:30 p.m.  

 

Junior Achievement 

Junior Achievement serves youth. It uses hands-on experiences to help young people understand the economics of life. In partnership with volunteers and educators, Junior Achievement brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential.


All class materials are provided by JA. The lesson plans are user friendly, fun, and easy to teach. Experience in business is NOT  necessary to be a Junior Achievement volunteer.

 

The fifth and seventh graders are in need of a volunteer to teach the session. There are six 40-minute lessons. All the materials and lesson instructions are laid out so minimal preparation is needed.

 

Without a volunteer, the program cannot be offered to these grades. Please contact Mary Roth at mroth@olpmn.org  if you would like further information or if you are interested in leading the JA classes.

Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I speak or frame.
Thy glory may I seek in all,
Do all in Jesus' name.

My Father, for His sake I pray.
Thy child accept and bless
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Amen.
