Toiletries Drive
My name is Chloe and I am an 8th grader at OLP. I'm working with St. Joe's Home for Children to collect toiletry items. I am holding a contest the week of 10/8-10/12 to see which team of grades can bring in the most. These kids need:
Tissues
Hand soap
Body soap
Shampoo
Conditioner
Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Brushes and combs
Whichever team brings in the most will get an out-of-uniform day. Good luck to everyone!!

Did you know that OLP School recently received a check for $3,965.57 from Target's Take Charge of Education initiative? That's close to $4,000 raised for our school with very little work on our part! What's even more impressive is that OLP has received over $30,000 in funds from this Target program since we've been enrolled.
If you have a Target Red Card (credit or debit), go to www.target.com/redcard/tcoe to designate your card for OLP. It's that simple! There is also a link on our school home page, www.olpmn.org.

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.
